Little PPC bugfixing spree … June 17, 2007

Posted by Tobias Scherbaum in : Gentoo , trackback

Somehow I was in the mood of starting a little bugfixing spree on Friday after I got home from work. From more than 100 hundert PPC-Bugs we’re now down to less than 30. Nearly all keywording bugs are fixed for now - so we can now take a look at the “real” bugs ;) The bugfixing spree was really needed as some of the bugs were laying around already for several months, but also some of the bugs were already fixed.

A third group of bugs were - I name them - “random keywording requests”, some developers apparantly like their packages to be keyworded and/or stable for any architecture supported by Gentoo. Which makes it even harder for smaller architecture-teams like PPC to handle this and the “real” keywording requests in a reasonable timeframe. While we did those random keywording requests in the past we can’t as of now due to lack of man-power - at best we currently have a group of only about five developers regularly looking at PPC-bugs. Plus we lost our last participant in the AT-program a week ago. Thanks for the work you did for Gentoo/PPC, Nathan!

I followed your work in my bugzilla-inbox… I have to thank you a lot for taking care of the “bugspam” this time! :-)

Congratulations! Now you should have time for the Gentoo book.
x86 was slacking a bit lately, but we will be below 30 in the next couple of hours!
