[gentoo-user] contribution to colorgcc

[Dmitry Goncharov]

Greetings,

Is anybody maintaining dev-util/colorgcc?
I'd like to contribute certain improvements for gcc and also support for the
sun, ibm, hp and intel compilers.
I pushed the current version to https://github.com/dgoncharov/colorgcc.
You can pull from there or i can submit a set of patches.

regards, Dmitry

Commendable effort, my friend. Have you tried asking in the gentoo-dev ML?

Rgds,

No.  There's no upstream for it anymore.  Packagers maintain their own 
versions and fixes are not contributed upstream since there's no upstream.

Yes, there is not upstream. I am looking for a gentoo maintainer who can accept
patches.
Alternatively, i can roll out a colorgcc tarball and start a new
upstream. I use the program with 4 of these compilers on a daily basis and maintain
anyway.

No effort at all. The program helps and makes my life easier a lot.
Yes, i also asked the gentoo-dev.

What I meant was: If you're going to 'take over' maintenance, be ready
for bug reports and 'suggestions' from other users. That will require
some effort ;)

Anyways, glad to see people picks up when upstream disappears from the radar.

Rgds,

If you fork it, it might be a good idea to rename it since "colorgcc" 
implies it's only for GCC, but you said you implemented support for 
other compilers too :-)

In any case, you can simply put your patches on bugs.gentoo.org and hope 
a Gentoo dev will add them to the tree.

I say do this. Declare yourself the new upstream maintainer, integrate
the available Gentoo patches (I don't think they're Gentoo-specific),
and release a new version. Then, file a Gentoo bug to bump the package
and update the homepage.
