How far was Curtis from finishing www-redesign?


The whole thing was pretty much scrapped. The CSS was done to some
extent, but our underlying xsl backend hadn't been finished.

As far as I know the redesign has been suspended indefinitely. *and
then* Curtis disappeared some months ago, to top it off.



Is there any chance this project could resurface but in a more 
incremental way, instead of hitting straight for the home run?


Just an idea :)

[gentoo-dev] Last rites: www-misc/pglogd

2007-01-13 Thread Luca Longinotti
Masked www-misc/pglogd for removal on 13.02.2007.
Dead upstream, no release in 2 years and doesn't work with PostgreSQL
8.X releases.
An alternative for the Apache webserver is mod_log_sql.

packages.g.o is a really helpful tool - which could be even more helpful 
if there where some people behind it...

and also the list of aging ebuilds with unstable keywords could be another 
project that perhaps could be revitalised through the council's action...

kind regards

Masked for removal today (January 13, 2007).
Package never went stable on any arches, doesn't build against newer
libXfont versions[1], and is deprecated upstream[2][3].

[gentoo-dev] Changing licenses/BSD

2007-01-13 Thread Petteri Räty
Anyone oppose the attached patch for making the BSD license more
readable? I just came across this way for writing it in one package and
think it would be easier to understand this way.

Regards,
Petteri

Almost all entries un profiles/ChangeLog are related to package.mask. We
had a little discussion in #gentoo-dev and found it redundant. I think
we should exclude changes to package.mask from that changelog otherwise
it will drown in noise.

 Anyone willing to take care of this package in the future, please update 
 metadata.xml and CC yourself on the bug.

Its also unmaintained upstream and is showing its age.
Its now masked and will be removed in 30 days if no one comes forward,
and becomes a new quasi-upstream.

[gentoo-portage-dev] Making doins die with FEATURES=stricter if the destination file exists

2007-01-13 Thread Petteri Räty
Now doins silently overwrites files. Would probably be useful to make it
at least echo a message about this and maybe die with FEATURES=stricter.
What do you think?

Petteri
