Nobody on the dev team has the hardware to test it (like the > opensmartcard bug [1]). I looked this up and this is probably the best example I've seen of the low demand bit. I will say that if someone wants a smartcard reader to try and develop for it they should post an email. Heck I have a brand new one I got for free from amex a couple of years ago I could send someone. Sure I'd like it back eventually. :) I have no problem donating equipment I've even brought stuff to the linuxworld when requested to. I'm going to make a habit of asking if equipment is needed for the booth. > You see, I've taken on maintainership for some packages, with the > express understanding that any bugs get assigned to the initial > submitter.

And we are working it out. :) I'm gaining a much better understanding of the gentoo dev policies and thought processes than I ever could from the docs. Hopefully there are others getting benefit from this thread. Robert -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
