[gentoo-dev] Call for testing: cryptsetup-2.6.0

[Marco Scardovi]

Hi everyone,
yesterday I've pushed a PR for the new cryptsetup-2.6.0. It builds well and 
commands work inside an LXD container, but that does not mean it works 
correctly in a real hardware. I'm asking to you to try it on a testing machine, 
as currently I don't have one for it. There is 1 notable change on new version:


1.  there should be a dep request against asciidoctor for man pages (luckily 
it's possible to install provided one so we don't have to install 
ruby/openssl:0 just for docs). sidenote: I'll take a look to see if it possible 
to use asciidoc instead.


Let me know what you think about it.

Thanks,
Marco Scardovi (scardracs)

Normally I copy/paste my whole metadata.xml and then change things I’m 
interested in (because, as proxy-maintainer, is faster to do so instead of copy 
maintainer twice and modify for me/proxy maint) but yes, I totally understand 
your point, thanks for your answer :)

Hi everyone,

I'm gonna propose to l-r these packages as both are dead upstream and on 
our side


# Marco Scardovi  (2022-12-14)
# We are literally the only distro that still have
# an installation option for that package.
# It still uses EAPI 6 and no real support since

Hi Marco,

Looking at packages seems there’s not any package strictly related

cups certainly has a network component both as server and as client.

It's one of a few different methods (by far the most common) to
access networked printers so it may not be so misplaced in net-print.


//Peter


Hi Peter and thanks for your answer. Yes, you are right about cups: it

actually uses net components but it's primarily use is to connect to a

printer, nothing more or less than that, even if it is connected to 
internet.


Even if we leave cups inside net-print, other packages like drivers are not

related to net in any way, as they only contains the necessary ppds for

printing. At the beginning of Gentoo that was acceptable because

packages were much less but now We should have to consider to place

them in a better position: that was already discussed, as said, and now

I'd like to finish that transition.

[gentoo-dev] Packages up for grab

[Marco Scardovi]

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,

[gentoo-dev] My resignation from Gentoo

[Marco Scardovi]

Hi everyone,

while I'm writing these words I'm full of sadness because you all are an
awesome family before being an incredible team.
It's been a while I've been thinking about that but actually I've realized
Gentoo is just something where I spending and "trash" the biggest part of
my time (not only free time but actually all my time) and I can't continue
like that.
I don't know if I will come back again or not but actually I have to take a
long pause for me and for people around me in my private life.
@sam, @juippis: if you mind I'll leave my PRs open on github, otherwise
tell me here or on irc. I really want to thank you for your patience (like
other people here :D).

You are all awesome and I won't thank you enough for all the thing you
have done for me.

/me hides.

Marco Scardovi ( scardracs )

PS

My resignation is for GURU, BGO and WIKI too: I will start today adding m-n
to metadatas

This project is awesome. I'm wondering if it's better to follow the woeusb
(without any gui as it was dropped) or move to the woeusb-ng python version
(personally i would prefer this way)

L'implementazione di libcrypt.so dentro glibc è stato deprecata
per lungo tempo e verrà rimossa in un vicino futuro.

Per questa ragione stiamo seguendo le altre distribuzioni
(dove questo cambio è stato testato per anni) e passiamo
all'implementazione esterna di libxcrypt, partendo dalle
installazioni ~arch. 

Questo sarà un aggiornamento regolare e in quasi qualunque caso
non avrai necessità di eseguire alcuna azione e non osserverai
alcun problema.

Raccomandiamo, comunque, che il tuo sistema sia *completamente*
aggiornato. Sarà anche una raccomandazione standard ma in questo
caso specifico è utile per avere un grafico delle dipendenze
semplificato in modo da assicurare che Portage sia in grado di
calcolare in maniera fluida un percorso di aggiornamento.

Detto questo, per favore prenditi l'opportunità di aggiornare
completamente il tuo sistema ora, prima che la migrazione accada,
per semplificare le cose.

Il cambio avverrà il 2021-07-14 per gli utenti ~arch. Gli utenti
stabili riceveranno l'aggiornamento in data successiva.

Se, per qualunque motivo, *non* hai desidero di fare il passaggio
ora - rimandando unicamente l'inevitabile - dovrai eseguire i
seguenti passaggi:
* smaschera e attiva la USE flag crypt in sys-libs/glibc
* maschera la USE flag system in sys-libs/libxcrypt

Se desideri fare la migrazione ora, ci sono una serie di passaggi

Re: [gentoo-dev] New project: binhost

[Marco Scardovi]

Hi there,

Well, actually you could take a look on GRP project as, if I understand,
was similar to what you would like to do:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gentoo_Linux#Gentoo_Reference_Platform

Unfortunately this project was closed on 2011, so lots of things are
changed, but could be a good start
