Beryl/Compiz ports looking for a maintainer

2007-02-03 Thread Florent Thoumie
Hey list,

As you know, (at some point) we're working on X.org 7.2 in a different
repository. At the moment I have (almost) working ports for compiz and
beryl. I currently maintain them but it's taking more time than I want
to allow it. Furthermore, I don't want to maintain them when it's going
to hit the FreeBSD ports collection and I'm not going to add it without
a maintainer set. I first thought I would add it to the list of ports
maintained by x11@ but we/they have enough work to do with the current set.

So, I'm looking for a maintainer who is responsive, careful, and I guess
it's better if he's a committer (but that's not mandatory). If you're
interested and already using my git tree, that's a big plus.

I'm working at updating beryl ports to 0.1.99.2 (and will probably work
on the 0.2.0 update) but I hope this is the last one, cause time spent
on beryl ports isn't spent on something else.

I just want to thank you for your work for bringing this amazing technology to 
FreeBSD. I also browsed their forums, and noticed that 0.2.0 rc1 is seriously 
broken for many users, so its probably better to wait for final (if you were 
going to update it to rc1).

As to your request - I'm neither a commiter, nor qualified (I'm not a 
programmer) to help you with maintaining beryl (only tried porting little 
things like kde styles or windecos - stuff that don't debugging code skills). 
Unfortunately.

Thanks again for your efforts (and the x11 team)!
