I have an old couple of (java-centric) bugs in bgo that maybe you could take a quick look at the attached ebuilds and either fix them or send me a guildline how to fix them? Both have ebuilds attached. But if you can fix them, it'd be trivial to also get the latest stable release of those cluster centric java nightmares.... I would not even care if they reside in an overlay somewhere, as gentoo tree acceptance is often a pilgrimage. They are very popular codes, just so you know, so you are talking about becoming gentoo-legend...... I'd even be willing to proxy them after they are fixed, or with a mentor that knows more about java than I. (that's not difficult at all). BGO-510912 (Apache-Mesos) and BGO-523412 (Apache-Spark) Publicly or privately, you'd get much more than my gratitude... (seriously). I also use euscan frequently (just so you know). curiously, James
