Relax and Recover (ReaR) is a highly automated disaster recovery tool for GNU/Linux. It has been developed under enterprise conditions for a few years now and has been in production at several enterprise businesses and companies world-wide. It can be obtained here http://rear.sourceforge.net/ while currently migrating to http://rear.github.com/. I've had the honor to work with one of the main contributors several months back and he kindly asked me if I'd like to maintain ReaR for Gentoo. Hence I liked the thought of getting into maintaining ebuilds anyway, and ReaR is basically just a huge collection of Bash scripts, I'd figured I could give it a try. The result of a couple of weeks is an ebuild which is emergable on ~amd64 and ~x86, which I'd now like to get into overlay to dive deeper into the entire topic. My ebuild is under Git version control at http://dev.c-base.org/gentoo-overlay/rear-overlay/trees/master and additionally pushed to one of my webspaces for web-fetch at https://baccenfutter.crew.c-base.org/gentoo/overlay/ I'd kindly like to ask for an overlay and friendly help and support in diving deeper into thetopic of ebuild maintenance. I'd be very happy to be granted the chance to practically learn more about how package maintaining works, especially in the context of portage and Gentoo. I am ambitious and ready to take the competition. Reproducible: Always
Hello, after reading your request I remain unsure which of these two options you are asking for: (A) Addition of [1] to the list of registered overlays so it can be accessed through layman (B) Creating a new overlay "user/rear-overlay" or "user/rear" (my preference) on git.overlays.gentoo.org. Which one do you want us to do? For (B) we would need an SSH pubkey from you. Best, Sebastian [1] http://dev.c-base.org/gentoo-overlay/rear-overlay/trees/master
I was asking for the addition of [1] to the list of registered overlays. However, I wasn't aware of the possibility to have a remote repository setup under git.overlays.gentoo.org. Would this be the preferred repository location for it to be added to the list of registered overlays or does this not matter at all? I'd probably prefer it, hence I'd have an additional layer of "push" to go through until releasing changes to the layman user. Are there any special terms and policies or conditions for either one other than those resulting from the Code of Conduct? Regards, Brian [1] git://dev.c-base.org/gentoo-overlay/rear-overlay.git
recalled in favor of the ebuild being added to the sunrise-overlay
