In the mean time, what about a direct link to your blog?

While I follow planet gentoo, I subscribe directly to a few gentooer 
blogs as well, in part because I'm interested in some stuff that doesn't 
get tagged gentoo and thus that planet gentoo won't carry.

With a link I could take a look around and would likely subscribe 
directly to your blog as well.  After all, it's easy enough to 
unsubscribe if I need to, or once planet gentoo starts carrying at least 
some of the posts if it turns out those are all I'm interested in, after 
all. =:^)

And if there's me, there may well be others, as well...

Here are the latest council decision on the matter [1] and news item [2].
At this point, if anyone who has split /usr isn't using initramfs,
they are operating on borrowed time.

I would agree, since it has been so long, that we should do another news
item, but once the news item is done and we give a firm date, I think
we should just kill off gen_usr_ldscript.

The /usr merge is a separate issue, which I agree with as well, but that
was never brought to council, and it is controversial in the Gentoo camp
because some folks claim fhs doesn't allow it.

No, it wouldn't. We made a decision in 2013 (I'll have to find it) that
separate /usr should only be supported via initramfs; there is also a
news item warning that if you are not using initramfs and you have
separate /usr your system will be unbootable in the future.

Thanks Alec, I finally figured out who's in charge of what.  So the
server is run by infra, but the planet git repo is run by the planet
folks and Jorge is the liason.

I'd still like to at least take care of "planet venus" at the server
level since it broken and I have interest in making it run since I have
a ton of blog posts that I want to make sure appear on planet.gentoo.org.

[gentoo-dev] can someone help me or give me access to planet.gentoo.org

[Anthony G. Basile]

Hi everyone,

There is an error on planet.gentoo.org which is not permitting my blog
post from showing up.  The aggregation program is very old, venus, and
it has an encoding error which I know how to fix.  Can someone give me
access so I can take care of that?  In fact, I'd be willing to join
infra team and baby that system for everyone.

I wrote a long blog post and I'd like to see it on planet gentoo.  I
plan on blogging a lot more too and need to see this problem fixed.
