[gentoo-dev] net-wireless/ipw3945{,d} needs your help
As some of you may know, I'm the sole (well, seemant is supposed to help too :P) maintainer of the above package. The problem with it is simply that it's closed source (at least the regulatory daemon and the ucode). The package itself is hopefully going away when iwl3945 is finally useable. Until then, this package _still_ needs someone who is willing going to maintain it. I already fixed most of the bugs in bugzilla, but it still needs some more work. I haven't had hardware in the first place, and only took it over from Hendrik (brix). So unless someone steps up in the next week or so, this package is going to get reassigned to maintainer-needed since I absolutely have _ZERO_ interest in maintaining it any longer.

Well, the scripts got phased out to the packages that actually *provide* this functionality. You will basically need to remerge sys-fs/lvm2 and sys-fs/device-mapper and add them (/etc/init.d/device-mapper and /etc/init.d/lvm) to your boot runlevel.

[gentoo-dev] Resetting of the vps subversion repository
After talking to Benedikt the last week, we decided to move our external repository back onto lark (that's svn.gentoo.org/cvs.gentoo.org). Furthermore, we'd like to continue where we stopped with the external repository, thus the repository on lark is getting deleted and restored from the backup of the external. If you don't know what I'm talking about, nevermind.

[gentoo-dev] New developer: Vic Fryzel (shellsage)
It's my pleasure to introduce to you Vic Fryzel (also known as shellsage), our latest addition joining the Gentoo Security force. Vic is joining from Rochester (that's in New York, USA). He's a senior engineer for Paychex, Inc and his main work-related project right now is the development of a wiki-based content management system. He states to me proficient in most languages/paradigms/operating systems, including low level interfaces. He also knows how to do security auditing (which he used to do for a living). More over, he knows how to manage team projects. When Vic isn't sitting in front of his computer (either at work or at home) he tries to spend some time with his girlfriend Janelle, their dog Lacey and their cat Apollo. And if he's got any spare time left (after spending some time with the above), he builds model rockets, robots, and open source software. And please be aware, he's assistant instructor and student of Shaolin Wu Su Kung Fu. Please welcome Vic as a new fellow developer among us ! -- Christian Heim GPG key ID: 9A9F68E6 Fingerprint: AEC4 87B8 32B8 4922 B3A9 DF79 CAE3 556F 9A9F 68E6 -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-dev] New developer: Robert Clark (hyakuhei)
It's my pleasure to introduce to you Robert Clark (also known as hyakuhei), our latest addition helping with forensics. Robert is joining from Aberystwyth (that's in Wales, UK). He's currently halfway through his degree (at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth), currently taking part in a one year program with ALICE (no that's not his fiancée, ALICE stands for "A Large Ion Collider Experiment" operated by CERN in Genève, Switzerland). He's perfectly aware of C/C++, ebuilds and bash scripts, also knows how to work with python. He also has a great interest in information security related stuff (Tavis, look out :)) and spends way to much time on war games servers (his own words!). When he's not sitting in front of his computer, he tries to spend time with his family (only when he's back in England or his fiancée is visiting him in Genève), enjoys shooting others in the rump with arrows ^H^H^H shooting the arrows at the bull's eye and lifting a 1t [1] anvil, ^H^H^H (again) weights.

[gentoo-dev] Last rites: net-www/mod_encoding and net-www/mod_random
Dear people (those who care), I just masked net-www/mod_encoding and net-www/mod_random. net-www/mod_encoding is useless with any modern system (it was usefull back in the days where browsers/apache couldn't interpret non-ascii charsets correctly). There hasn't been any new release for >2 years, and modern apache / browsers already support that kind of feature. net-www/mod_random is a module providing custom, randomized responses which can be easily implemented by using some random apache interface-able scripting language (pick any of ruby, python, php, ...). Another reason for this is, that the apache team lost another member and thus we are reorganizing stuff, removing ebuilds that are broken, useless with current versions of apache or superseeded by other packages, that work better and are better maintainable. It is fading away sometime in February. -- Christian Heim GPG key ID: 9A9F68E6 Fingerprint: AEC4 87B8 32B8 4922 B3A9 DF79 CAE3 556F 9A9F 68E6 -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

Usually you don't have to wait *that* long. And point is, the current upstream development (ipw2?00.sf.net) is nearly halted, thus bugs get fixed in the kernel at the same time they get fixed in ipw2?00. Point with this removal is to remove another package, that is eating up my time. As I don't have the interest to maintain it anymore (and the in-kernel drivers work without any problems) and also nobody else showed interest in this package, I went ahead and announced its removal. > Furthermore, many users have a much easier time using the > externally-built module than the in-kernel drivers.

I haven't been in this situation, and I've never seen any complaints (neither via mail nor bugzilla), so I have to take the point that there are no problems (remember, I can only fix stuff I know of).

[gentoo-dev] Last rites for net-wireless/ipw2100 and net-wireless/ipw2200
Heya, net-wireless/ipw2100 and net-wireless/ipw2200 are both kernel drivers built as an external package through portage. The codebase currently in portage is the same that is present in any up-to-date kernel tarball (2.6.x). For this reason I am suggesting, everyone migrates to the in-kernel drivers. They can be found here: Networking ---> Network device support ---> [*] Network device support Wireless LAN (non-hamradio) ---> [*] Wireless LAN drivers (non-hamradio) & Wireless Extensions Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Connection Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG and 2915ABG Network Connection These will also enable the in-kernel version of the ieee80211 driver. As per summary, both packages are going to get punted from the tree. Both will vanish around sometime next January (I'd say 30 days from today - which makes it 21th January 2007). And to leave those of you, who already use the in-kernel driver relaxed, the firmware images are not going to get removed as they are still needed for the in-kernel drivers. -- Christian Heim GPG key ID: 9A9F68E6 Fingerprint: AEC4 87B8 32B8 4922 B3A9 DF79 CAE3 556F 9A9F 68E6 pgpWzbPUUN7OX.pgp Description: PGP signature

[gentoo-dev] New Developer: Alexis Ballier (aballier)
Its my pleasure to introduce to you Alexis Ballier (also known as aballier), our latest addition joining to help out with the media-sound and media-video herd. He hails from Marseille (that's in France if someone doesn't know where Marseille is). So far he hasn't contributed anything big (like being a dev) to any project, so this will be his first time ! He had planned to create a website to diffuse the useless stuff - that's how he calls his previous contributions to other projects - , but has always been to lazy to learn how to create a website. His skillset only includes the basic linux languages (that being beneath English, C and C++, but also BASH) and ocaml (wtf is ocaml? - thanks to Alec I know that now). He's currently finishing his master degree in computer science (another one :P) and will be a PhD student next year. Currently he doesn't have any hobbies except riding his bike because that prevents him most time to use the car or metro (thus is leaving more time for Gentoo, yay!). He also enjoys climbing and walking. So please welcome Alexis as a new fellow developer among us! -- Christian Heim GPG key ID: 9A9F68E6 Fingerprint: AEC4 87B8 32B8 4922 B3A9 DF79 CAE3 556F 9A9F 68E6 pgpATue1sj50R.pgp Description: PGP signature

Its my pleasure to introduce to you Alon "alonbl" Bar-Lev, the latest addition joining to help out with the crypto herd. He hails from Israel (hrm, they don't have cities down there ?). So far it looks like Alon is completely constrained to his computer, he doesn't have any other hobbies nor life. So while he's sitting in front of his computer, he is (or better was) working on smartcard support for nearly everything (OpenVPN, QT, OpenSSH, GnuPG, xsupplicant and Mozilla). Additionally he believes that without free and open alternatives to cooperate software, users eventually will be forced to give up some of their freedoms. He also has some extraordinary skill set, I won't list them all. But a few, just fyi. Starting with C, C++, Java, ASM (for x86, x51 and s390), bash, Perl and ending with System programmer for Linux, AIX, Windows and z/OS. Also he has some experience in the field of embedded systems.

Its my pleasure to introduce to you lack, our recent addition joining us to take care of the rox-related ebuilds. He hails from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. When he's unplugged from his computer, he tries to play some guitar and write songs (he even plays in two bands). He also has another hobby, called marriage (so far it has lasted for 5 years according to Jim). While he's off the leash from his wife and unplugged from his guitar, he has fun with his pomeranians dogs, going for walks and the like. He's currently working as a programmer/analyst at SED Systems, whose main focus is satellite ground systems (and some Linux consulting and embedded Linux development). He has some quite extraordinary skills, ranging from C, over C++, python, perl and Java. He also had the nerve to use various BSD variants (including FreeBSD and OpenBSD), while playing with different VPN clients (openVPN, openSWAN and isakmpd).

[gentoo-dev] autotools.eclass and binary packages
I'm currently preparing one of my embedded system for a test-run and noticed
that a *binary* package of media-libs/libpng pulls in the autofoo-stuff.
I went looking for the reason, looked into the eutils, multilib and finally
autotools eclasses and saw that the autotools.eclass is setting the DEPEND
but not the RDEPEND. IIRC portage-2.1 is now setting RDEPEND to DEPEND if
nothing other is assigned within the ebuild/eclass.
So the simplest fix would be to assign RDEPEND="" in the eclass [1].
If no-one objects, I will commit the changes on monday.
TIA, Christian
