Sounds great, I'd like to use it for my Briegel buildsystem
(not Gentoo related, somewhat similar to portage, but more for
embedded targets) running mass-buildtests.

hmm, would it make sense to add a new masking for the testing
tree, so users could decide which stability grade vs they wish ?
or perhaps use overlays for that ?

For example, I'd like to have the critical packages (everything
that's needed to bootup and do basic remote maintenance) from
the new frozen-stable tree, but other things should stay as
they are.

Well, I often have cases where the stable tree breaks something
or requires deeper manual intervention. That doesn't make fun when
maintaining dozens of systems. So a more-stable tree (hmm, perhaps
call it 'mature' ;-)) would be a big win.

I could also imagine doing that on per-package basis.
Lets say, somehow automatically export the last time of unresolved
bugs per ebuild to some sane place in the portage tree (eg. some
new file in the per-package subdirs) so people could script up
something that automatically maintains package.mask ?

I've automatized even a bit more: my cron script also automatically
rebuilds the packages I have explicitly whitelisted in my
/etc/portage/package.autoupdate file.

Let me know if anyone likes to have it.

/me too.

Perhaps we can find a way to make the update safe (so eg. new
postmaster is installed along the old one) and provide some
migration tool ?

If we have enough VM's, we could also collect configs and perhaps
even example workloads from users which run their updates with
~arch automatically and look whether they still run properly.

[gentoo-dev] Rewrite java-config in C++ or python

2011-02-20 Thread Uditha Galgamuwa
Hi dev,
   I am Uditha Galgamuwa from university of moratuwa,Sri Lanka.I am
interested in the project idea "Rewrite java-config in C++ or python" which
was in last year Gsoc.As I saw this project has not been implemented in Gsoc
2010.Will this be available for this year's idea list from Gentoo
foundation? I have good knowledge on programming with java and some
knowledge on C++  and a basic understanding about XSLT as well.

Thank you very much
Uditha.
