Jackass 2006.1 - patches that Gentoo could pick up?

SirYes · Last edited by SirYes on Tue Apr 11, 2006 6:50 pm; edited 2 times in total

In one of the comments to the updated Stage 1/3 Installation Guide: 2006.0, GCC 4.1.0, Glibc 2.4 (note: registration required) at the end of page BoB P wrote something about the patches he and his Jackass team has made.

Maybe it could be benefitting if those fixes were investigated and put into Gentoo eventually? At least, a work done is work done. No need to do it again. And IMO giving the credit to the Jackass team for it would also be nice.

No politics. Just asking...

Edit:
Removed the direct quote of Bob's post. Please go and visit his site if you are interested in the original text.
And once again sorry for the trouble I've unintentionally made.

I'd recommend finding out who the leads are for the respective areas, and approaching them via IRC. Most devs don't frequent the forums.

I could be blind but, I don't see any of the patches he's made available for download.

It would have been nice if they submitted the changes to bugzilla -- perhaps they already did?

Ah, thanks. Now to find out WHERE on the CD it all is..

Oh, and you might want to remove the quote in the first post

Because Jackass! has become rather popular and because Jackass! had been consuming a fair amount of Gentoo's bandwidth, one of the Gentoo Forum Admin suggested that Jackass! should have its own site. To honor that request, and to ease some of the load on the Gentoo Forums, we've created the Jackass! site as the place to discuss all things related to Jackass!

As a result of having to run another site, I currently have my hands full and I'm not spending as much time here as I used to. I'm not reading as much here, and I'm not writing as much here either. If people are interested in responding to my posts, it would make sense to respond to them in the forum in which they were created. It certainly doesn't do any good to copy them and replicate them somewhere else, and to expect me to run from forum to forum chasing hyperlinks.

For this reason I would prefer that people leave the posts that I make on the Jackass! site on the Jackass! site, and not reproduce them elsewhere. I'd also prefer that people who have questions about Jackass! ask them at the Jackass! site. I just don't have the time to follow links and to post in multiple Forums.

I had a (quick) look on bugzlla and failed to spot anything. But I'm not a fan of it and it's painfully slow at times. Mailing lists I didn't even consider, and I didn't (for whatever reason) think you'd post them here. As for the CD, being unfamiliar with catalyst (I want to learn it, but I don't want to be trying with broken software) I haven't a clue where to look on the CD.

Any chance of a pointer in the right direction, or, if possible, a tar of the lot?

make a symlink and call it a day! If anything, keeping all the config stuff in one directory is a large improvement!
