Here is a list of interesting questions: "Are we fine?" "What are we
going to do?"
Please project leaders try to reply in short.
[ wxWidgets ] (i'm not the lead but i don't think leio will mind)
Done:
We got 2.8 into the tree (yay). After a few bug reports that were
mostly silliness on my part, things have mostly been smooth sailing.
Hopefully it's working out for everyone.
To Do:
I have a couple people interested in ports other than wxGTK (eg.
wxMac). I'd like to start by separating wxBase into its own package and
get support for building against an external wxBase into upstream. I
haven't talked to upstream about this yet and they may violently
disagree with this approach so all this is highly tentative. I have no
idea what form other ports in portage will take at the moment.
Work on upcoming releases (2.10(?)/3.0) will begin when said releases
are closer to.. er.. release.
[ gcc-porting ] (again not the lead but I don't think vapier will mind)
Done:
The usual.
To Do:
I've been working on getting the tree ready for GCC 4.3 but it's been
slow going. 4.3 is a hell of a lot more disruptive than 4.2 was. There
is a preliminary porting document posted at
http://people.redhat.com/~bkoz/porting_to_gcc43.html which outlines most
of the major issues if people are interested. Right now I almost have
Gnome building while KDE is a bit further behind just due to the most
commonly encountered 4.3 incompatibilities being in C++ code (KDE itself
has been fine, most of the problems are in the dependencies). Anyone
wishing to follow this progress can checkout my overlay via layman and
subscribe to Bug #198121. (I also have svn GCC ebuilds in my overlay.
They work on 64bit targets which i think the ones in the toolchain
overlay have trouble with (?).)
[ fonts ] (hey, i do run this one!)
Done:
Version bumping. Random fixing. Thanks to pva the eclass now
handles conf files with spaces in their names. :) Thanks to cardoe we
have an awesome eselect module for tweaking said conf files. :) I think
all of our major bugs have been fixed.
To Do:
We've gotten a couple more ppl so things should go a bit smoother.
There are a crapload of font ebuild requests in bugzilla I'd like to
sort through. (I'm not adding every request to the tree; fonts will be
considered based on quality, coverage, license, etc.) I'd like to bring
our font selection up to the level of other mainstream distros, as well
as review our defaults to try and provide a better out-of-the-box
experience for >=2008.x. fontconfig-2.5 helps with this and I'm
planning on stabilizing it soon.
