Also some contributors have invested a lot of time in it. I think those should all be available within an overlay: overlays.gentoo.org There they are downloadable, improveable and we do not turn contributors away by WONTFIX. Additionally we will not get many dupes once we close an ebuild contribution. People who file ebuild requests have not contributed anything, so I think those can easily be marked as WONTFIX :) Probably it makes sense to have such an overlay on gentooexperimental.org for the time being. So that we can start reducing the 2000 bugs in bugzilla Regards, Stefan -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

Commented in irc re: this, but eclass doesn't really fly- if it's implemented strictly in an eclass, portage has no way of easily reverting the changes (mainly cause it's not aware of 'em) if the build fails, thus the user/group isn't needed. Same for unmerging. Further, if implemented strictly as a trick in one of the ebuild phases, setup is the likely place- means that setup cannot be deprived to non-root for running it (thorn in the side for trying to depriv all phases). So... need it higher up then implemented in one of the ebuild phases. :) ~harring pgpDaQe1Exygv.pgp Description: PGP signature

Hmm something like a tree, containing ebuilds, that people can check out and browse... :) Comments on this idea are appreciated. I wouldn't mind helping write it and maintain it, but having interest and support in doing something like this is definately going to be needed :) The idea of an unmaintained tree has come up before and been shot down because (paraphrasing) 1. nobody will check the ebuilds 2. nobody will maintain it 3. nobody will bother marking stuff stable and 4.it will be a security nightmare. Personally I think it would be fun to just throw open the gates and have an open git (or other dscms) no-guarantees repository that pulls from the main tree every day, and which anyone with an email address can sign up for and then push their own stuff to. Or maybe some wiki-frontend to a branch of the portage tree. Yeah there would be some security issues and vandalism just like any open content system. Nevertheless, It would be a very interesting experiment in opening ebuild development and maintenance to a larger audience. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-dev] net-www/awstats: security issues, revbump (and probably maintainer) needed
CHTEKK does this one, thanks. Hi Gang, net-www/awstats is masked because it has open security issues (including remote code execution), see bug #130487 for details. Version 6.6 was made to fix it, but unfortunately this version is not working at all (see bug #134296), so we are trapped between unusable and vulnerable versions. Jakub made a patch for version 6.5 to fix this vulnerabilities, but that very patch still needs to be incorporated into an ebuild and commited as revbump. So, if anyone volunteers to step up and revbump 6.5 with patch (or fix 6.6 so that it's usable), please don't hesitate. It would be also cool to have a new maintainer for this one, since ka0ttic seems to be missing. Thanks in advance, Stefan 'DerCorny' Cornelius -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

It would make it a lot easier to do automated checks against submitted ebuilds for QA issues, and we would offload all of those submissions from bugs.g.o to this app. I guess you could think of it as the overlays.g.o idea, but I tend to think overlays are experimental things that aren't necessarily going to be added to the tree. This would be for ebuilds/packages that are ready to be added to the tree, but just lack someone that wants to maintain them. A big advantage of the current system is that people tend to add bug reports to those maintainer-wanted ebuild bugs, so the community can actually iterate through ebuilds for a non-tree package without too much pain. Separating the pending ebuilds from bugs would make that harder. -g2boojum- signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
