[gentoo-dev] Package up for grabs: app-arch/snappy

[Michał Górny]

Hi,

The following package needs a new maintainer:

  app-arch/snappy

Technically, it's not a high traffic package.  It's pending version bump
but upstream did not bother providing a working release archive,
and GitHub archives do not work because they are missing git submodules.

That said, it's a typical Google open source package -- bad quality,
doesn't care the slightest bit about accepting patches or getting bug
reports, or even making working releases.

Best regards,

Strangely enough, upstream actually released new 1.1.9 a few hours ago. I
don't see any issues with git submodules (there only gtest and benchmark
libraries which can be disabled via cmake).
Anyway, I can take maintainership over it.

Disabling the tests is not a solution.

Well, with a little patch magic, I was able to make GTest suite as an
optional dependency.
