[gentoo-project] GURU is now online!

Hello, everyone.

It is with pleasure that I'd like to announce that the GURU project [1]
has started and is home for its first ebuilds [2].  For those who
haven't been following the recent RFCs:

GURU aims to be a single central user-maintained Gentoo repository.
It tries to take the best ideas of the past Sunrise project [3],
and modify them into a self-sustainable ecosystem where users work
together on new packages (only those not in Gentoo are allowed), review
one another's work and (hopefully) eventually deliver a reasonably good
quality product.

At this point, I am obliged to explicitly note that GURU is maintained
by users and is not strictly controlled by Gentoo developers or
supported by Gentoo Security project.  While hopefully our Trusted
Contributors will do their best to ensure good quality of GURU, it may
contain vulnerable, broken or even malicious ebuilds.  You use it
at your own risk (just like Gentoo itself).

If you are interested in contributing your ebuilds to GURU (provided
they are new packages and now updates to ebuilds in ::gentoo), please
take a look at the project page [1].

At the same time, I'd like to make it clear that GURU exists
independently of proxy-maint, and you are free to submit your packages
both ways, or to submit it to GURU first for fleshing out.

If you are interested in using GURU on your system, it is available
on the repository roster as 'guru'.  You can get it e.g. via:

  eselect repository enable guru

[3] https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Sunrise

Hi ,

Apologies if I'm a bit confused here.

modify them into a self-sustainable ecosystem where users work
together on new packages (only those not in Gentoo are allowed)

>So anything already not in the main repository?

If you are interested in using GURU on your system, it is available
on the repository roster as 'guru'.

>Are there any specific build requirements there? Arch or otherwise ?

Thanks

Yes.  Well, not 'anything anything' but as long as it can be legally
included and is not totally destructive to the user, it should be fine.

Same as any other repo, depends on the package in question.  Most likely
the majority will be only tested only on amd64 but you are free to try
and keyword for other arches.

Also note that everything goes to ~arch, there are no stable keywords.
