Hello everyone,

it's a pleasure for me to introduce to you Andrew Savchenko aka. bircoph as the
latest addition to our team.

He has been a long time out-of-tree contributor to various packages including
sci-physics/root, linphone, mediastreamer or openl2tp. Now it is time for him to
work directly on the tree.

Here some lines from himself:

"""
I'm an IT engineer in the Unix technologies department of our
university working mostly on HPC solutions, though I'm also
involved in VoIP and infrastructure security issues. We're using
Gentoo in production widely ;)

Also I'm a researcher at the same university working in High Energy
Physics field and I'm working on my PhD in HEP now.

In Gentoo I'd like to participate in science, voip, cluster teams
and maintain some random packages of interest.

Other than technical stuff my interests encompass classical music
(both Western and Eastern), literature (sci-fi, historical novels
and epic fantasy), anime and cycling.

I have contributed to quite a lot of free software projects, though
most contributions are in form of patches, high quality bug
reports, translations and small improvements here and there.

Notable project I contributed to:
MPlayer, Midnight Commander (was a developer for these two), Linux
kernel, OrangeFS, Wesnoth, sdcv, openl2tp and of course Gentoo (a
lot of patches in bugzilla, proxy-maintainer for various packages).

ATM I'm one of clsync developers (it's an lsyncd replacement written
in pure C with enhanced functionality and extensibility; probably
should add this project to the tree) and symlookup dev (its a tool
for undefined symbols handling, though intersect with scanelf for
some tasks).

Also I maintain an official Russian Debian mirror located at our
university. (We have Gentoo mirror too (that's why this host was
set up in the first place), but additional mirrors aren't accepted
now.)
"""

So please join me and give Andrew a warm welcome,

Justin

Welcome, glad to have you on board :)

As for symlookup, the new python version of revdep-rebuild uses
scanelf, but could use a little help to scan for undefined symbols...

Welcome (and better switch on autorejoin on irc :)!

We can probably add a Russian conspiracy to the German one by now (not to 
mention the physicist cabal)... :D

Thank you (and everyone else here) for a warm welcoming!

Hmm, interesting. Do you need to scan some directory tree to find
symbols not defined within such tree?

Actually scanelf and symlookup have noticeable overlap of
functionality. Some time ago I though about possible merge of two
projects, but interfaces and functionality are somewhat different.

Maybe common library will do the job. What actually symlookup does
is tree traversing using fts and dig into each so/ar to look for
user provided symbol. The devil is in details: regexps may be used,
it can also find ebuild or rpm holding matched files, build map of
all symbols in the system and so on.

Best regards,
Andrew Savchenko

Welcome bircoph! Pleasure to finally have you on board.

That will make you a heavy sci-physics/root user, I suppose;)

Very admirable experience. I am looking forward to cooperating with you
more in the science herd.

Yes, root and pythia are my main research tools. Geant is used too,
but to a much less degree.
