[gentoo-dev] Up for grabs: Raspberry Pi stack

[gentoo-dev] Up for grabs: Raspberry Pi stack

[Sam James]

I don't have the hardware set up at the moment (and haven't for a while)
to test this properly.

The following packages are up for grabs:
* media-libs/raspberrypi-userland-bin
* sys-kernel/raspberrypi-image

I dropped myself as a co-maintainer on the following:
* sys-firmware/raspberrypi-wifi-ucode
* media-libs/raspberrypi-userland-bin
* sys-boot/raspberrypi-firmware
* sys-kernel/raspberrypi-sources
* sys-kernel/raspberrypi-image

I think anyone interested in these packages should probably consider
joining the lot.

There's a few outstanding bugs, notably https://bugs.gentoo.org/930269
for Raspberry Pi 5 support, but a bunch of others including bumps being
due.

thanks,
sam

I've been working in this area because of my PiStorm efforts, but it's been
hard to find the time lately. I can at least say that I was on the way to last
riting media-libs/raspberrypi-userland(-bin). Ideally, we need libcamera
first, otherwise users of things like media-video/motion will be impacted. I
don't know whether we have any such users though. As for hardware, I only have
a Pi 4b and have no need for a Pi 5.
