Same here. I'm happy fixing and bumping stuff in dev-embedded but I do not have access to any hardware anymore. So anyone is welcome to help and join this herd too.

[gentoo-dev] Packages needing new maintainers, redux
6 months ago, I sent a mail looking for new maintainers on a bunch of my packages. I didn't get many takers, so here they are again. The sys- ones are getting base-system on them, per vapier's original suggestion. On Tue, Jul 10, 2007 at 04:49:02PM -0700, Robin H.

For fwcrv, there's been a lurking endian bug for a while, but sometimes it works, sometimes it does - suspected that it might be slightly buggy fireware devices out there rather than the software itself. > Software, QEMU frontend: > app-emulation/qenv No pending bugs or verbumps.

[gentoo-dev] Packages needing new maintainers
Hi Folks, For various reasons, I've got a couple of packages that I'm not really very well suited to maintain going on. I added them over the course of past jobs and university courses, but I have no further need of them, and they really could use people that actually use them. This first batch deal with IPMI hardware. I used IPMI hardware in my last two jobs, but in the present one, we don't use it, and the packages do need maintenance with testing to make sure they actually work on the hardware. sys-apps/ipmitool sys-apps/ipmiutil sys-libs/freeipmi sys-libs/openipmi sys-libs/openhpi Again hardware related. You can deploy an iSCSI solution with just iscsitarget and open-iscsi as a pair, but I have previously tried to test open-iscsi with a hardware target, and iscsitarget with some other initiator (Windows or Solaris). sys-block/open-iscsi sys-block/iscsi-initiator-core-tools sys-block/iscsitarget Again, hardware related, with an software implementation possible. sys-block/aoetools sys-block/vblade Hardware, SCSI stuff dealing with enclosures and arrays: sys-block/scsirastools Hardware, SAS stuff (remote possibility I might come back for it if I get hardware for it): sys-block/smp_utils Hardware, NUMA-capable boxes: sys-process/numactl Hardware, Fibre-Channel: sys-apps/hbaapi sys-block/qla-fc-firmware sys-block/fwdl Hardware, for tuning network cards. In new enough kernels (should be most of 2.6), this is obsoleted by mii-tools and ethtool: sys-apps/nictools Hardware, Firewire IEEE1394: sys-apps/fwcrv sys-block/endpoint Hardware, flash disks: sys-fs/mtd-utils (this was the replacement for sys-fs/mtd) Software, QEMU frontend: app-emulation/qenv Hardware, programming PIC embedded microcontrollers (the herd might end up with these, but somebody with the hardware to use them would be nice): dev-embedded/icdprog dev-embedded/pikdev dev-embedded/xgpasm Software, I picked up maintenance of autofs when the previous maintainer went AWOL several years ago, and ran with it because I needed AutoFS-LDAP. I don't have access to any AutoFS-LDAP setups anymore, and upstream has moved on. There is a 7Kb init.d script that badly needs complete rewriting due to upstream and kernel changes: net-fs/autofs Networking, Linux ethernet Bridging. net-misc/bridge-utils Networking, SCTP protocol. net-misc/lksctp-tools Networking, SLIP over file descriptors. net-misc/vmnet Networking, VLAN management for managed switches: net-misc/vmpsd Networking, admin tool for some networked printers and JetDirect-style adapter boxes: net-print/npadmin Networking, modelling and predictive applications: sys-apps/tcng net-analyzer/nam net-analyzer/ns -- Robin Hugh Johnson Gentoo Linux Developer & Council Member E-Mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85 pgpEMx5gNHbCT.pgp Description: PGP signature
