Hi there, We're a production company in South Africa doing 3D animation with Maya. We've used the Maya ebuilds on gentoo from eradicator and I've helped him with them. the problem is we're looking at moving all staff over to Gentoo, but I'm reluctant to do this without support for Maya on gentoo. Is there some way we can pay for an ebuild in a situation like this. I'm sure somebody would not mine getting $100 for a ebuild when the latest version of Maya comes out. Suggestions? Comments? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. ebuild works fine 2. Pay for ebuild 3. Everybody happy Actual Results: nothing yet .. but we're hoping .. Expected Results: 1. ebuild works fine 2. Pay for ebuild 3. Everybody happy Please mail me directly if this is outside of the "community" area, for instance if you are willing to do this directly for us instead of as a member of the gentoo developers community, tho I would not see why, since we'd rather have the ebuild in portage then on our own little treee internally.
Henti, I don't think a bug report is the appropriate way to ask for this. Both for you, reaching wide audience, and for the Gentoo community, not having a policy regarding sponsoring of specific packages. Please ask in the gentoo-dev

Btw.: Paid support is nothing Gentoo as an entity can provide, but that doesn't mean you can't donate². :) [1] http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/lists.xml [2] http://www.gentoo.org/foundation/en/funds.xml
