[gentoo-dev] Packages up for grab
That's the complete list of packages up for grab after my p-m resignation:
acct-{group,user}/radicale
acct-{group,user}/ulogd
app-arch/wimlib (License bug, see #766060)
app-backup/duply
app-benchmarks/siege
app-dicts/myspell-it
app-i18n/man-pages-it
app-misc/bgrep
app-mobilephone/heimdall
dev-go/delve
dev-python/{markuppy,tablib} (last-riting, see #801991)
mail-filter/bogofilter
sys-auth/fprintd (see bug #764500 and #764554)
sys-auth/libfprint
sys-boot/woeusb
www-apps/radicale (see bug #783057)
x11-themes/papirus-icon-theme
# Co-maintained packages
app-vim/rust-vim
sys-fs/genfstab
In particular sys-auth/{fprintd,libfprint} need some love
I was working with sam at PR https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/20736
Also I need someone to take care of download place for the following
packages as actually I have them saved on my github account (I can maintain
them here but I think it's better to save them somewhere inside Gentoo).
app-dicts/myspell-{fr,mi,pl}
For any questions you can contact directly me here or over IRC
Thank you all for your hard work,
Marco Scardovi
Re: [gentoo-dev] [PATCH] vdr-plugin-2.eclass: add EAPI8 support, EAPI7+ fixes
if there are no more points to discuss, could someone please add a review to https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/21447 ? One more finding: repoman says BDEPEND: consider using 'virtual/pkgconfig' instead of 'dev-util/pkgconfig' I will fix this.
