[gentoo-portage-dev] tools-portage packages

All:

Sending this here before I send to the gentoo-dev list.  Below is the
list of packages that are managed by the tools-portage herd and their
maintainer (if any).  I know we have several packages in the herd that
are not being maintained and I would like to either get a maintainer or
last rite the package.  I've included comments on what I know about the
packages.

There hasn't been any issues with it.  If it ain't broke...

Although the qt frontend is behind the gtk one, so if there is a pyqt
guru out there willing to update it...

I haven't seen any activity from it's creator in the forums or in the
repo.  I don't know if he's still around or using gentoo still.

time to start getting ideas for our next round of improvements for a
0.31 release. 
I did want to migrate equery to the enalyze classes for handling the
menus, module options and things.  This will eliminate a lot more
duplicated code.  It will also make for a central place to change to
using argsparse if we want to rather than getopt.

Did we want to start merging more of gentoolkit-dev into gentoolkit yet?

Are there any more enalyze modules, rebuild targets, or analyze reports
desired or needed?

I've just started poking around it's code again.  Ken hasn't been around
irc for some time.  I have been involved some in it's development from
early on.   Ken did start some refactoring last time he was working on
it.  I've cloned his savanah svn repo into git locally.  I don't
remember my savanah password, but didn't have commit access to it there
anyway.  I'll push  any changes to github.

I really need to re-code the migration bit we did in the ebuild into
python so it can read and modify the existing config variables.  A
couple small bugs and it should be ready for a 2.0.0 final.  Then will
be finishing the changes needed for it to be able run correctly in py3.
There are still a few changes needed for a clean 2to3 run to work
without additional patching.  If I drop py2.5 compatibility it would
also reduce the number of fixes 2to3 would need to make.  But there were
people using it with py2.5 even recently.  I think they were embedded
developers.

I've gotten more work done on the backend re-factor, but is a long way
off being ready.  I also started a refactor to the packages view so it
could be used by plug-ins.  It is mostly done, but I need to work on the
layman plug-in more to test it.  I think I'll need to put out an interim
release with a few updates to the backend and the packages view changes.

I used to maintain this; but I don't see a compelling reason to use it
over eix, so I recommend removal.

I will fix bugs in the script if someone does the ebuild work or proxies for me.

Re: [gentoo-portage-dev] tools-portage packages

[Paul Varner]

Based upon all of the responses, this is the list of completely
unmaintained packages managed by  tools-portage.  If no one objects, I
will send this list to gentoo-dev in a few days asking for maintainers
or they will be last rited.

app-portage/deltup
app-portage/epm
app-portage/maintainer-helper
app-portage/splat
app-portage/ufed

Paul
