[gentoo-dev] [ANN] find-work utility: discover ebuilds to improve
TL;DR: Install: # eselect repository enable guru && emaint sync -r guru # emerge dev-util/find-work Browse documentation: $ xdg-open https://find-work.sysrq.in/ $ man find-work Backstory - I used to be very active in ::guru, trying to fix every bug. This led me to a burnout, so after some months of rest I decided to care only about packages that are actually installed on my system. I used a couple of scripts for that, and after writing yet another one I realized they have a common purpose: fetch all available work and filter it to show only things I will be interested in. That's how this utility was born. What's next? v0.3.0 has initial support for Repology, Bugzilla and packages.gentoo.org as data sources. It can filter results by installed status and/or by maintainer email. However the development can't move forward without your feedback, so I encourage you to report bug and feature requests on my bugzilla, chat rooms or via email. Everyone is also welcome to contribute.

[gentoo-dev] Announcing a utility for updating metadata.xml files
Hi lists, You might know about the `app-portage/metagen` utility that generates metadata.xml files with your name and email. But there was no tool that autofilled upstream information, so I wrote it. Using it is as simple as: $ gentle foo-0.1.ebuild You can install it as `app-portage/gentle` from the ::guru repository or download it from PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/gentle-mxml/ The tool uses Portage API to unpack source code into a temporary directory and guess from that data. Pkgcraft will be supported once its bindings gain ability to call phase functions. There are problems with Pkgcore, so it's not supported. Contributions (especially fixing bugs and adding new generators) are welcome! P.S. There's a similar project called upstream-ontologist[0]. I didn't know about it when I started the project and now it's too late. [0]: https://pypi.org/project/upstream-ontologist/

Instate a policy to allow EGO_SUM in the gentoo tree: 1) from proxied maintainers 2) if there are no more than N entries and disallow use otherwise.

Yes. For Nim it would be something like that:
# nim.cfg
--nimcache:"${EPREFIX}/var/cache/nim/${CATEGORY}/${PN}"
And for Go:
export GOCACHE="${EPREFIX}/var/cache/go"
on some condition.
The only problem is, they don't support cleaning cache automatically. So
it needs to be done manually or with cron.
[gentoo-dev] Portage and languages with built-in cache support
Hello,
Portage can use ccache and sccache to speed up builds, but some
languages (like Go and Nim) support caches out-of-the-box. It's not fair
that we can't use them.
I'd like to start discussion on this topic. What should be the preferred
method of handling build caches?
I think adding more stuff to Portage is a bad idea, and caches should be
handled by corresponding "${lang}-utils" eclasses. It can be as simple
as checking some variable, passing necessary flags and placing a couple
of 'addwrite' calls for sandbox.
Of course, such feature needs to be strictly opt-in.

Rust crates are not such a disaster as Go modules.

Re: [gentoo-dev] dev-python/ package naming policy?
I'd prefer if PyPI names are guidelines, not a strict policy. I don't
like CamelCase and separators other than dash ("-") :P
Also I don't like when packages are named "dev-python/python-foo"
instead of just "dev-python/foo".
