Re: [proaudio] media-sound/lmms-9999-r1 installation fix (github pull request)

["Hector Martin \"marcan\"" <marcan@xxxxxxxxx>]

gentoo-mirror GitHub repos are automatically generated mirrors with metadata cache generation, for direct Git sync users. In this case it seems it was automatically set up to track SVN (maybe this was done for all official overlays in layman). It is not a master repo and sending pull requests against it is meaningless.

There are only two proaudio projects/forks/repos: the original SVN, and the GitLab fork.

Honestly, though, given the dreadful state of the repo, I'm tempted to wipe the slate clean and start with a new repo and just move/fix individual packages, and also perhaps make more of an attempt at just getting packages upstreamed in gentoo-portage rather than maintaining an overlay (this was also the suggestion from a Gentoo developer I spoke to). While it would be nice to do a massive cleanup job with proaudio, the fact is I only use a small subset of the packages in there and I don't really have the time to put into cleaning up the whole repo...

In other words, instead of removing old and broken packages, it may make more sense to start over with a clean repo and *add* the packages *you*/*we* care about. If nobody uses a package, it might as well die. Chances are neither of us has the time to test/maintain ebuilds for software that we don't actually use or can easily test...

Well this all gets a bit confusing to me.

We have

* a SVN repo
* a github repo
* a gitlab repo.

I've pushed to the gitlab repo for the last 6 month (or so). But I've
also seen some action on the SVN, but I was never aware there is a
github repo.
I think we have to do some action now. I would love to bring the
proaudio project to live again,

- update the wiki-page (so people see there is something going on).
- get rid of mantis issue system (and replace it with the github or
gitlab issue system)
- remove old and broken packages.
- use GIT instead of SVN of course.

I don't know how this all works here (because it is not written somewhere),
but I'm willing to spend time on get things done. Is there somebody else
who want to push proaudio forward?

For that I need an admin/moderator/editor account for Wikipedia thou.


Hope this
thread is not ignored by anybody and makes it possible to
bring proaudio alive again.
