[Openchrome-users] Openchrome version bump in Gentoo' s official portage tree

[Marcus Priesch]

Hi Peter,

how much effort is there to be the maintainer of the gentoo ebuild ?? -
as i am using gentoo all over and also having most via based boards i
would definitely want to give it a try, but i dont have any user
registered at gentoo ... 

some time ago i rolled my own ebuild for the openchrome driver ;)

how is the procedure to mark something stable in the portage tree - how
much must be tested ?!?!

if you could shed some light on this, there ould be a maintainer soon ;)

regards to all the great people out there who make all this possible !!!
marcus.
