Sure. - reached >10% coverage/replication of the gentoo-x86 tree - convinced two contributors to become Gentoo ppl - attracted more "big players" - extended our arch.list - brought Portage Prefix branch fully in sync with trunk - rough Prefix binpkg support (chpathtool, via tinderbox.dev.g.o) - enabled Java (Sun, Diablo, (Apple/Soylatte)), Haskell (GHC) in Prefix - mostly automated tree syncing, to easily stay up-to-date > What are we going to do: Just continue. - try to make cross-compiling/building with target prefix fully working - sort out the 64-bits targets with their multilib-hell forced upon us - add more arches, {net,open}bsd ones being worked on - work out support for bootstrapping from a binhost - hope we can get an rsync tree with metadata generated (get faster!) - try to eliminate python as it usually doesn't compile (will fail) - try to convince more people (you know who you are) - finish writing of the stupid glep - add more packages/try to close all package request bugs - think about privileged installs - get baselayout fully ported (support for runscripts) - (maybe) think about multi-prefix (could solve the FreeBSD GNU conflict) - try not to kill overlays.g.o - seek cooperation with "Gentoo upstreams" where appropriate (part of the slight maturing phase) - try to get all the other companies we know they use us, to post some testimony like http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.alt/3308 :) (wishful thinking) - maybe invest some time to get repoman's SVN support patch acceptable for the trunk (not much benefit for us at the moment, though) - (most probably) go crazy -- Fabian Groffen Gentoo on a different level -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
