The result can be found in kde-crazy overlay (not in layman) [1] I splitted every desktop/ folder i found. The following issues raised though: 1) I didn't touch the hardened and selinux directories although they do contain a desktop folder. Should I proceed in those or not? 2) Some mips/ subdirs don't point to targets/, so I guess the split went to /dev/null. So I asked ssuominen who suggested to skip the mips directories, and I reverted. (Edit: ssuominen just committed changes in mips profiles in tree). 3) There were no desktop dirs for bsd/prefix etc. 4) Also take a look at how I splitted the USE flags (with ssuominen's and yngwin's suggestions) and propose your corrections plz. For example, I don't really like the firefox flag in kde, and I'd suggest a -firefox (ugly, I know) in kde's make.defaults Please Please Please Please Please TEST / REVIEW (especially the arch teams plz) I'll give three days max for the suggestions here etc, and then I'll proceed in creating the news item. So I guess it will be committed in a week max. Thanks [1] http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/kde-crazy.git;a=summary (I doubt that anyone tested it) I attached the news item, please review. Meanwhile, I'll create docs patches. Also, I'm CCing hardened as my No.1 question was not answered. Please do. Thanks PS. Please test it News item commited, also added note to KDE guide and proposed note for GNOME FAQ. I didn't find anything relevant about profiles in xorg guide so I skipped it. I'll commit this change this Friday, 26 March @ Docs Team, do you want a handbook patch?

[gentoo-dev] bug-wranglers queue is large
Given that the b-w queue is over 200 bugs and some have not been wrangled for 3 weeks... Could everyone spend 5 minutes wrangling 5 bugs? (or more if you are willing :) Thanks, Jeremy

Before that I wondered what is the meaning of COMMAND and ARGUMENTS. Would be nice to make it more clear.

Re: [gentoo-dev] Python 3.1: Stabilization and news item
I'm attaching updated news item, which will be committed soon. Stabilization has been delayed to 2010-04-21, but members of architecture projects can start testing now, to ensure that all potential problems have been found and fixed. -- Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis Title: Python 3.1 Author: Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis arfre...@gentoo.org Content-Type: text/plain Posted: 2010-03-23 Revision: 1 News-Item-Format: 1.0 Display-If-Installed: =dev-lang/python-3.1* Python 3 is a new major version of Python and is intentionally incompatible with Python 2. Many external modules have not been ported yet to Python 3, so Python 2 still needs to be installed. You can benefit from having Python 3 installed without setting Python 3.1 as main active version of Python. Currently you should not set Python 3.1 as main active version of Python. When setting it becomes recommended, a separate news item will be created to notify users. Although Python 3.1 should not be set as main active version of Python, you should run python-updater after installation of Python 3.1. By default, modules, which support both Python 2 and Python 3, are installed for both active version of Python 2 and active version of Python 3, when both Python 2 and Python 3 are installed. It is recommended to use a UTF-8 locale to avoid potential problems. Especially C and POSIX locales are discouraged. If locale has not been explicitly set, then POSIX locale is used, so you should ensure that locale has been set. Problems occurring only with non-UTF-8 locales should be reported directly to upstream developers of given packages. See http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/utf-8.xml for more information about UTF-8. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

I will be moving these to maintainer-needed in a few days. I no longer use them and have little motivation to fix incoming bugs. Don't bother to ask, just feel free to change metadata.xml to yourself. Thanks, Jeremy app-admin/bcfg2 Has a proxy maintainer that I haven't heard from in quite some time. app-arch/makeself No longer use. No updates and nothing to do for this one. app-emulation/fuse-utils app-emulation/fuse app-emulation/libspectrum Rarely need to do any work. Has a proxy maintainer. app-text/pdf2oo No longer use. No updates and nothing to do for this one. dev-python/skype4py net-im/skysentials No longer use. Could use some love. Allows you to SMS from skype. net-misc/pytvshows No longer use. sys-apps/kexec-tools No longer use. Has a herd but could use a dedicated maintainer. sys-apps/preload No longer use, a few open bugs.
