[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 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,

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.

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.
