[gentoo-dev] scheme herd needs help

After talking with them, it's really understaffed to properly handle all
packages they cover right now. Would be nice if anyone would be willing
to join (as a dev or proxy maintainer). The following packages are
especially needed of a maintainer to handle them:
dev-scheme/tinyscheme
dev-scheme/guile
dev-scheme/slib
dev-scheme/scm
dev-scheme/guile-gnome-platform
app-shells/scsh-install-lib
app-shells/scsh
dev-scheme/hop
dev-scheme/ypsilon
app-text/skribe
dev-scheme/kawa
dev-scheme/jscheme

Feel free to go ahead and get some of them

Thanks a lot

guile is partially maintained in the lisp overlay, I managed to
provide SLOT support for guile-2, feel free to contact me or
gentoo-lisp@lists for more info/pushing it to the tree. I also have
good contacts with guile's upstream.

I work with hop upstream (and for dev-scheme/bigloo too). My PhD
thesis subject is about hop, so I have good knowledge on how Hop
works. I have ebuilds for it, I will be happy to tell anyone
interested about this package (and maybe move it to www-servers/
category).

Who is behind lisp overlay? Only you or more people that could also be
contacted to try to get them maintaining guile? Thanks for the info

As you are not (yet) a developer with commit rights, maybe you could
proxy maintain it, will CC proxy-maint people

We are 2 or 3 non-dev volonteers. pchrist is busy with life and
common-lisp stuff, grozin and radhermit give a hand on some
packages. The lisp overlay guys are easily rechable through
#gentoo-lisp or gentoo-lisp mailing list.

About guile, I'm the only one having touched it for the last 2 years
[1]. I think I could proxy-maint it, with an experienced dev in
eselect modules and multiple SLOT packages.

I could. Even if I do think that hop in the tree is not needed
currently, it does not build, it is very outdated. I think people
using it use it from the lisp overlay where I just pushed 2.4.0.

I won't object if dev-scheme/hop is tree-cleaned. I'd better finish my
quizzes first :-)

I can help maintain guile and will proxy stuff for you (but I'm not in
the proxy-maintainers herd).

I think it's not a problem, you don't need to be in that herd for
proxying. What final list of packages will be proxy maintained finally
then? Looks like guile... but not sure about hop (most people would
prefer to get in tree version also fixed instead of needing to rely on
lisp overlay :/)

Thanks
