For the few packages i maintain, i'm on all relevant channels to be notified of updates in time. But i appreciate user feedback on bumps, for most of the time they come with patches or complete ebuilds. (thanks guys, you're fantastic) I certainly want to stress the "wording" part of marius' mail. The bump request i dealt with are "patch attached" kind of stuff. That's not annoying, that shows the user's caring and i appreciate that very much. Especially if the bump is critical i like timely feedback on it, in a "hey, this has been out for some days, fixes issue X, which is kind of important to me, could we have a bump in the tree?" kind of way. I DO get annoyed by "package X has a bugfix release out 5 hours now, why isn't it in the tree yet!!?" - but i don't get those bump requests... -- Regards, Matti Bickel Signed/Encrypted email preferred (key 4849EC6C) pgpQTUflDLLsB.pgp Description: PGP signature

If the ebuilds are truly simple templates (as they appeared from a quick glance), perhaps a script more like g-cpan or g-pypi would be merited instead of large numbers of trivial ebuilds? -- Thanks, Donnie Donnie Berkholz Developer, Gentoo Linux Blog: http://dberkholz.wordpress.com pgp09EI11seof.pgp Description: PGP signature

[gentoo-dev] new eclass and portage category: octave-forge.eclass and dev-octave
Dear All, The sci herd would like to propose the addition of a new octave-forge.eclass as well as a new portage category dev-octave to house new octave-forge ebuilds. Background: --- GNU octave [1] is a high level language and computing environment aimed at numerical computations. octave-forge [2] provides a collection of extensions for, e.g., image processing, bioinformatics, etc., to the octave core package. In the past, the octave-forge package extending the octave-2* core was a monolithic build and is currently available in portage as sci-mathematics/octave-forge. For the newly released octave-3* core, octave-forge has been split into a large number of individual packages, each implementing a distinct functionality. In addition, the breath of the new octave-forge packages has been greatly expanded. Currently, there are more than 40 octave-forge-packages and the number is growing. Current State of Affairs: - We have developed an octave-forge.eclass that handles the installation of individual octave-forge packages as well as the management of the octave core-owned package database. Both the octave-forge.eclass [3] as well as the individual octave-forge ebuilds [4] are currently maintained in the scientific overlay and have been tested over the past couple of months. Proposal: - We would like to propose two things: 1) Addition of the octave-forge.eclass [3] to the main portage tree. The octave-forge.eclass in its current state provides a wrapper around the package install functionality of the octave core. It uses octave core's "pkg" command for compilation and installation inside the sandbox and adds functionality to maintain the octave core database file of installed octave-forge packages. It is available for review at [3] (due to its length I didn't want to attach it to the post). 2) Addition of the individual octave-forge packages into a new category, dev-octave In principle, the octave-forge packages could be added to sci-mathematics. However, since we are already at > 40 packages with more to come in the future it seems that creating a completely new category dev-octave would both be more appropriate and make things more manageable in the future. Any feedback regarding our proposal and improvements to the octave-forge.eclass would be very welcome. Thanks all for your time and reading through this long post. Best regards, Markus [1] http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/ [2] http://octave.sourceforge.net/ [3] http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/science/browser/overlay/eclass/octave-forge.eclass [4] http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/science/browser/overlay/sci-mathematics -- Markus Dittrich (markusle) Gentoo Linux Developer Scientific applications -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
