Name: Göktürk Yüksek Nick: gokturk Mentor: NP-Hardass Areas of contributions: Base-System, Proxy-Maintainers, Devmanual, Recruiters Tree access: Yes I'd like to present to recruiters, Göktürk Yüksek, from NY, USA. Göktürk has made large contributions in updating the devmanual and quizzes. He's both participated in and contributed to the Proxy-Maint project, contributed to the MATE Project, and helps to maintain several base-system packages. CC'd the following teams because Gokturk has expressed interest in joining them upon becoming a developer: Base-System and Devmanual Expect quizzes within the next few days.
Both quizzes submitted to recruiters.
@base-system, do you accept newbies (I mean brand-new developers) to the team?
(In reply to Mikle Kolyada from comment #2) > @base-system, do you accept newbies (I mean brand-new developers) to the > team? This is a question which could be best answered by vapier I suppose but I think I can add something (hopefully valueable and not too wrong) to it as well: As base-system is a very crucial part of Gentoo a potential new member should have quite good skills in ebuild writing/maintenance as well as a rather good understanding of the basic packages/tools a Linux/*nix system has. There are also some special (unfortunately unwritten) rules regarding base-system packages like not to use latest EAPI for such packages so rather old systems have a less painful upgrade path. There is https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Base which would be the perfect place for such information but unfortunately we base-system maintainers are a bunch of slackers and thus the page doesn't receive the amount of updates it deserves. So my assumption (and it really only is my personal assumption) is that base-system does not accept brand-new devs as members immediately. I suggest gokturk starts working on some base-system bugs and provides patches for review. This way we can evaluate his skills and with the appropriate feedback teach him how base-system works :)
With respect to @base-system, I am mainly interested in maintaining miscellaneous system packages such as the ones I currently proxy-maintain (sys-apps/rng-tools, sys-fs/ext4magic) or similar ones (sys-apps/hdparm, sys-apps/smartmontools etc). I thought I should clarify that.
(In reply to Lars Wendler (Polynomial-C) from comment #3) i think that's a good general policy. post patches to bugs and show that you understand how things work, and membership comes as a result of that. it's how pretty much on the team made it onto the team :). when it comes to specific uncommon packages like rng-tools or ext4magic, we often just let devs pick them up as one offs. for more popular/important ones like hdparm, we like to keep closer watch.

Thanks for the clarification. Sounds fair to me. Removing base-system from CC.

Why was a second email sent? I did bump my packages in March: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=4c0ae21838ef57f4dadfab3f12e5753ae920dc41 Is my activity not being picked up?

Yes, I missed that - but you also have 2 commits this year, and a handful of others were in 2022, and then 2021 (I barely have to scroll down a few lines for them to all fit in pager). A bunch of your packages are out of date (https://packages.gentoo.org/maintainer/gokturk@gentoo.org/outdated) and there's also stablereqs pending (https://packages.gentoo.org/maintainer/gokturk@gentoo.org/stabilization). I already had to bump some of the packages.
Some recent activity.
Ping. All my packages other than rng-tools are up-to-date and new version of rng-tools was released 2 days ago. https://packages.gentoo.org/maintainer/gokturk@gentoo.org/outdated is misleading with false-positives: - app-benchmarks/filebench: last release was 8 years ago. According to https://github.com/filebench/filebench/releases, there's a 1.5-alpha3 and it's a pre-release. - app-crypt/jitterentropy: According to https://github.com/smuellerDD/jitterentropy-library/tags, the last release is v3.4.1, which is what we have in the tree. There's an entry in Change for 3.5.0 but no git tags yet. - app-crypt/veracrypt: According to https://github.com/veracrypt/VeraCrypt/releases, the latest release is 1.26.7, which is what we have in the tree. CMakeLists.txt has a 1.26.10 but no git tags yet. - dev-vcs/gitstats: This is just a side effect of the versioning we used. Our snapshot is 0_pre20201124, which is more recent than 20160102. - sys-fs/fscrypt: According to https://github.com/google/fscrypt/releases, the latest release is v0.3.4, which is what we have in the tree. There's an entry for v0.3.5 in Makefile but no git tags yet. I bumped app-laptop/mbpfan today.
