[gentoo-dev] public system of ratings

[Oleg Puchinin]

Day kind!
I recently have started to use Gentoo, and I had one question.
What for to charge developers of a problem of check of packages?
 Why to not make public system of ratings? For example voting

" is not compiled At all "
"works"
...
"It is excellent"
"I wish to see a package in Gentoo "

And so for each [new] package.

Oleg.

We already have such a implicit rating system :) It's called bugzilla. 
Just count the currently open bugs for a given package, that will give 
you a pretty good estimate of how well it {mis,}behaves.

One hundred programmers which only also do that dig in mountain "bugs"
a kind " new package ", it, in my opinion, how to use a steam hammer
to crack nuts. Can it is necessary to make the processes occuring in
Gentoo by more public?

It's hard to understand what you suggested here. But I think that the
answer is: even if "new package" compiles and works on 10^{any number
here} systems, without maintainer it will not go in the tree and public
testing does not help to resolve "new package" bugs. OTOH I already
wrote you in gentoo-ru 2 possibilities how you can get your package in
the tree and mentioned sunrise overlay...

I counted two.

I don't know what this means.

There has been no major motivation to implement such a system.

bugs.gentoo.org has the ability to assign votes to bugs. If you like something 
you can blog about it.

Small amounts of this can be done on bug reports.

Get involved with overlay projects like sunrise to increase the usages of 
packages you like. Maybe oneday you'll even become a gentoo developer and can 
make a package mainstream.

All stable ebuilds in the tree should work, if they don't that's an exception 
and will probably get fixed soon after the failure is discovered anyway.
Anyone who is willing to test a new keyword in an ebuild shouldn't have a 
problem filing a KEYWORDREQ in Bugzilla.

If you want package ratings, take a look at ohloh.net or something, shouldn't 
be hard (for a human) to map the package names there to the ones in Gentoo.

Again, all the most important software is already in the tree, if you need 
something else, filing a bug is not too much effort.
