Gentoo Installer Program.
- Held Two Meetings Where We:
- Discussed current status of project.
- Discussed old bugs that needed to be fixed as of last semester.
- Assigned bugs.
- Fixed backend esearch function so that it did not return a package when none were found.
Gentoo-Dev Mailing List Lurking
- Signed up for Mailing List. Yay.
- Received 312 messages over a period of 10 days. Averaging 31.2 messages per day.
- There are a few main posters that you see over and over, but there are also quite a few other people who post in certain types of threads, or just post very rarely.
- Big thread on migrating xorg-x11 from /usr/X11R6 to /usr.
Another thread which was much bigger than it ought to have been was with someone wanting to put an IRC bot into #gentoo which had a few little commands you could issue it, but also did some logging and had statistics. Which inspired a big debate on privacy versus it being a public channel, yadda yadda yadda.
- xorg-x11 stuff mentioned above.
- Back Issues are archived by a few places, see This Site for details.
- See the above site for instructions.
- Most of the topics were not really hard-core issues, I think most would be able to get a good gist of what is going on, but I think most people would not care about most of the things that go through this list.
- If you are a gentoo developer, want to be a gentoo developer, or just want to know more about what goes on behind the scenes of the gentoo development world, and keep abreast of the issues, this would be the list to join.
- There were a few posts by fairly new users, but not as much as you might see on most lists.
- One user asked a very basic question and was promptly referred to wikipedia for an answer. There were some threads which got a bit flamy, mostly due to misinterpretations by one or more parties, but for the most part it seems a pretty low-key list.
Z/VM GUI
- Set up a meeting time. Have not had time to actually meet, but will begin after break.
