Hello, all. We've been slacking for some time and we're two versions of PyPy behind already. Therefore, I've opened a staffing need [1] for a new PyPy package maintainer and hacker.
We specifically need someone who knows the basics of Python ecosystem and is able to hack on PyPy's code. The work involves: - checking our existing patchset and updating it for future versions of PyPy, - hacking PyPy to be compatible with common Python install layout as outlined in bug #465546 [2], - updating PyPy ebuilds and building binary packages [3]. We will offer all help we can. We can help with ebuild-related issues and understanding of Python ecosystem in Gentoo. We can provide some infrastructure to build PyPy if that is necessary. However, we don't know the PyPy internals, so that's what the candidate will need to face alone. Hopefully, it will be just a one-time effort. If you are interested in helping out, please contact us at #gentoo-python (freenode) or pyt...@gentoo.org. We appreciate all the help you can give us.
