[gentoo-dev] stepping out

[Angelo Arrifano]

Hello all,

I cannot keep up with my duties as a maintainer of my packages anymore
(listed below). My development machine died and I ended up installing
Debian on it. Gentoo was (and still is) a very good development platform
but I do not have the time to maintain a Gentoo install in my desktop
anymore, much less maintaining Gentoo packages.

I still use Gentoo for a few embedded projects I have, I'm building the
embedded images using Gentoo in a chroot, fuck buildroot, crossdev
+portage is the way to go.

While it is certain I cannot keep up with maintain packages anymore, I
also need to rethink my role in the embedded team. I'm going to see this
with them.

Thank you,
- Angelo Arrifano

packages:
---------
* gpe-*
We should probably talk about removal of the gpe category. GPE made
sense when Linux in cellphones was still on its infancy. Nowadays I
doubt anymore is using it anymore.

* games-simulation/corsix-th
development is active in upstream, has quite a few Gentoo users.

* dev-embedded/arduino
does not need introduction

* dev-lang/logtalk
upstream is active, the version in portage is old and there haven't been
any bug reports from users. I wonder if anyone is using it.

* media-sound/gnaural
upstream is somewhat active but their last version is old. it works
though, no bug reports

* sci-misc/mendeleydesktop
very active upstream, you get a new version nearly every month. big user
base at gentoo

* media-plugins/gst-plugins-jack
the version in portage is old

This is in GStreamer herd and will receive bumps together with the rest
very soon (and mustn't be bumped without everything else). But we could
use help from people known to actually use the thing to make sure it
actually works. Or at least just users/devs with JACK setup in place can
do basic tests with this, while validating it gets used (I can assist
with that on IRC).

What is the current status on this matter? Is gpe-* still in
development/use nowadays?

There are several build failures on gpe-*:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=gpe

Plus
repo.eapi.deprecated gpe-base/gpe-icons/gpe-icons-0.25.ebuild: 1
repo.eapi.deprecated gpe-base/libgpepimc/libgpepimc-0.9.ebuild: 1
which need to be converted otherwise to a more recent EAPI.

Should I fill a bug requesting the removal of gpe-*?


Cheers,

Manuel

From a "treecleaner" point of view, please do, to ensure we don't forget
about this (also, if possible, pointing to the mail thread for future
reference).
