RE: [gentoo-dev] Hard Work for ARGGHH... (Future ebuild List)

I agree this would be a very nice feature and could be kept on the
gentoo.org site as a list of ebuilds in progress, email address of
developer, and status. This could at least allow people to try and
contact the person who has started the ebuild, and decide whether they
want to try and do there own, help with the current one, or wait for it
to be completed.

I've had something similar. I made an ebuidl which was put into
"resolved 
later" state because the dev's had no time. Then some time later another

ebuild for the same software gets in. I didn't even notice because noone

marked my ebuild as outdated or anything. I just noticed because some
other 
dev saw my old ebuild and marked it as old when he saw it hanging around

while some newer ebuild got in.

I think this should be really improved. Also if someone makes an ebuild
check 
if there is one in bugzilla already and then check your ebuild in under
the 
same bug id as a new version or make a pointer to the old one.

[gentoo-dev] Hard Work for ARGGHH... (Future ebuild List)

[hanez]

hello all gentoo devs,

i'm sitting here some days now and are working on an ebuild for festival. 
since some days festival is included in the portage tree. it's no problem for 
me, but i think the effect for my work is like nothing. i have learned much 
about creating ebuilds but i think it's better to do some work other people 
could use....!?!? :-(

my question:

is it possible to make a list under gentoo.org where all the gentoo devs are 
making entries of there ebuilds and maybe the completion-status, they are 
working on at the moment?

it would make things much easier for all other users who likes to create 
ebuilds and want to upload them. (i really like it!!!) we could use the list 
for looking what is in progess, before we are beginning to code a new ebuild.
 
what do all the others users think about that? any ideas?

thanks
hanez... ;-)
