[gentoo-dev] New ebuilds

[gentoo-dev] New ebuilds

[Philippe Lafoucrière]

hey devs
Don't kill me too soon... but I really find the way to post new ebuilds
too complicated. I went to bugs.gentoo.org, and got a :

"The 'bug number'  is invalid. It is neither a bug number nor an alias
to a bug number. If you are trying to use QuickSearch, you need to
enable JavaScript in your browser. To help us fix this limitation, add
your comments to bug 70907."

Of course, javascript is enable on my Mozilla Firebird :(

then, I expect nobody is working on the same ebuild as me (a python
module to do some fuzzy logic...).

It's really hard to add the new ebuild. I had to go through the maze of
bugs.gentoo.org. There's no REAL place to add them (no category for new
ebuilds). This part is really "fuzzy" too in
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-howto.xml with just a link to
bugs.gentoo.org.

I think this should be really simpler, with maybe a new web repository
to upload ebuilds (I know, bugs.gentoo.org is one, but it's too heavy).

Actually, despite the error message, the attachment was probably attached.

Where did you click? The above "I went to ... and got a ..." is not
exactly a useful bug report...

That's why we have http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/ebuild-submit.xml

Even with the guide you didn't find?
I think having new ebuilds coupled to bugzilla is essential because
it provides a method for feedback on the ebuilds in case of problems.

1- Open bugs.gentoo.org
2- Fill the "Enter a bug # or some search terms:" field with something
like 'fuzzy'
3- Submit

Sorry, I didn't see the link ! I thought every thing was in
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-howto.xml

It's more clear now.

Thank you

[gentoo-dev] New ebuilds

[Rafael Fernández López]

Hi,

I'm not a developer considered in Gentoo project, but I have a little time
that I can give Gentoo everyday. I submitted yesterday tkgate ebuild (new
package in portage), and I am going to start wxmaxima ebuild.

I know that developers are actually busy, and they have lots of things to
do. Those apps are really interesting in sci-mathematics and
sci-electronics respectively, and maybe they'll be taken by a developer
tomorrow, or maybe they are taken 3 months from now...

What I suggest is to take care of this two packages myself, as a developer
(passing all the tests and questions that I have to pass for becoming a
developer), and I'd like to know if somebody can mentor me.

What I did before creating this ebuild was to search some bugs and post
them or search them in the source code. I don't usually post bugs before
reading source code, and when I post it, I suggest where in the source
code the bug can live... Is the way I normally work.

And by the way... I'm a GPL fighter... fighting for our rights.

Another thing... I normally have little time for searching bugs, creating
ebuilds and so on... but I'm a student (at University) and I may have
enough time for fixing bugs that always appear on packages... so this is
my proposal.

Thanks,
Rafael Fernández López.
