Hello list, 12 Apr 2008; Gilles Dartiguelongue package.mask: Masking gnome-system-tools because it is broken, to help fix it, see bug #214265. ------- Comment #3 from eva@gentoo.org 2008-04-12 15:19 0000 ------- ok guys, here is the situation. We need someone really motivated with perl foo and possibly a bit of C. Upstream is open to contribution and will gladly accept it. We also need someone that knows gentoo system well enough to help make things right for both upstream and the contributor (if they are separated persons). Gnome system tools were masked today because they are broken with gnome 2.22 and basically nobody wants to touch it. Status on 2.22 s-t-b/g-s-t/liboobs: * users-admin allows creating users but doesn't save them. Try to debug this with d-feet spawned a strange error like "No .service registred for :1:79" or something like that. * network-admin doesn't seem to detect properly DHCP/Static IP but reports appropriate status when using NM. * services-admin doesn't detect running services and don't stop them when unchecking a box. * shares-admin seems to be working ok. * time-admin looks ok as well. Now where to start ? I think a good start would be to try and write a CLI tool that manipulates users like usermod but through liboobs or something that could be used as a testsuite for s-t-b. Please help. -- Gilles Dartiguelongue Gentoo
