Hi,
Christel and I were discussing it on IRC today, and she would take care
of the paperwork. We are going to have a short meeting in user relations
tomorrow evening where it is on the agenda too :)

I partecipated as both ffmpeg and gentoo so I have another view on the

The project I proposed sadly went nowhere and probably IF I'd start
mentoring again I'd be quite more strict.

To complement the both of you, how about proposing projects to 2
students at the same time and have them work as a team?
It's against the rules to have two students working on exactly the same
project, or at least it was last year.

Also about last year, are there known improvements other mentoring

For the sake of completeness and correctness:

I think the easiest approach then would be to have an /etc/timezone
directory that should have a single file in it with the current
timezone. This file could be copied from /usr and keep the original
name. example:
/etc/timezone/MST7MDT
Pretty easy to understand and deal with. What do you
Um, alternatively you could just copy /usr/share/zoneinfo/foo to
/etc/localtime rather than having a symlink. Since the zoneinfo file
has the name of the timezone in it already, it is probably not
necessary to preserve the filename of the timezone file.

For speed, there are a *lot* of changes/improvements that could be made.
What I would like to see is the ability to get to a login prompt

startup stuff run in the background.
Yes, this would require a sophisticated system since
Well, sure, but the timezone-data ebuild could be upgraded to check to

Yes, re-writing the backend in C whilst keeping /etc/init.d/

Perhaps it should serve as a lesson when selecting next year's
projects.

All,
I saw that we have a request for an ebuild for upstart.
I am looking it over and looking at the sample jobs that can be

Oh, and a bit of history - at one point, I used djb's supervise as
part of the initscripts so that we could do stuff similarly to
upstart. When the initscripts were rewritten, we went to bash and had
the intention of adding process monitoring and restart eventually -
but gentoo was growing so
There are several cases where the information from which repository

you can use some heuristics on environment.bz2 or comparing ebuilds
directly, but those
