If you are interested in proxy-maintaining this package, you may be able to do so under supervision of a developer from the ProAudio project (to which this package belongs) or, if they are open to having this package proxy-maintained but unable to supervise you, under the Proxy Maintainers project [0]. You can E-Mail the ProAudio project members directly about this, though they may also respond to this bug. The first step to proxy-maintaining this package would be to produce an ebuild for the new version of this package and attaching it to this bug (or submitting a Pull Request through the Gentoo GitHub repository [1]). If you need help in getting a working ebuild, you can find resources and assistance in either the Developer Manual [2] or the #gentoo-dev-help or #gentoo-proxy-maint IRC channels on the Freenode IRC network. [0]: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Proxy_Maintainers [1]: https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/ [2]: https://devmanual.gentoo.org/ Thank you Sam Jorna. I had already found a lot of information but I didn't know about Proxy Maintainers. Because of heavy 'real' life commitments, I cannot make any additional commitments. But I do want to learn how to contribute a patch now and then. I discuss this in more details in the bug #570938 . I had found the herd officially responsible for media-sound/hydrogen. It's listed here: https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/media-sound/hydrogen https://www.gentoo.org/inside-gentoo/developers/herds.html#proaudio However, I have not yet figured out who is behind the contact email proaudio@g...org I checked the list of mailing lists, but didn't find any mailing list called 'proaudio'. I finally found where hydrogen now stores its latest releases: https://github.com/hydrogen-music/hydrogen/issues/347 https://github.com/hydrogen-music/hydrogen/releases Hydrogen 0.9.6.1 @mauser mauser released this on 10 Sep 2014 Hydrogen 0.9.7-beta1 @mauser mauser released this on 16 Oct 2015 ยท 70 commits to master since this release In the various audio overlays, the latest version I found was: hydrogen-0.9.6_rc2.ebuild https://github.com/tokiclover/bar-overlay/blob/master/media-sound/hydrogen/hydrogen-0.9.6_rc2.ebuild media-sound/hydrogen: Version bump to 0.9.6.1 #20 https://github.com/tokiclover/bar-overlay/issues/20 (In reply to augustin from comment #2) > I had already found a lot of information but I didn't know about Proxy > Maintainers.

You can still use the channels I mentioned for getting help, even if it is to contribute infrequently. Just make it clear to whomever commits the patch that you don't want maintainership. Contributions are always welcome and appreciated. :) > I had found the herd officially responsible for media-sound/hydrogen. You can also use `equery meta <atom>` (provided by app-portage/gentoolkit) > I checked the list of mailing lists, but didn't find any mailing list called > 'proaudio'. Herds and projects are not mailing lists, they're mail aliases. Developers have their emails added to the alias in order to receive mails sent to that alias. You can just send a mail to that alias and it will reach all devs associated with it. Developers associated with a project are listed on the project page on the Gentoo Wiki. You can also use the Gentoo IRC bot willikins (on the freenode network) to resolve herd members (expanding project aliases is not working right now). It's also worth noting that there is currently a transition happening between herds and projects meaning that herds are being deprecated. You can see the progress of that - whether a given herd has been mapped to a project - at [0].

For example: /usr/portage/media-sound/hydrogen/metadata.xml Thank you Sam for the extra information. I'll check it out and contact the appropriate devs. speaking of metadata.xml, I notice it says: remote-id type="sourceforge">hydrogen. I guess this would have to be changed since the code appears to be hosted at github, now.

Ideally, yes. There are examples in the tree that can show you what to set it to: find /usr/portage -name metadata.xml | xargs grep remote-id (In reply to augustin from comment #8) > Thank you Sam for the extra information.

If you'd like to proxy maintain them, get the ok from some in the project of Professional Audio Applications Maintainers so there is authority to add the proxy-maintainers herd (as it is atm) to metadata.xml Hi Ian, The reason why I still haven't posted a new ebuild is that I was still in the process of testing 0.9.6.1, until today. There is an important issue that does not preclude from upgrading but users must be made aware of it. Basically, I upgraded a few days ago using the ebuild for hydrogen-0.9.6_rc2.ebuild provided by tokiclover/bar-overlay https://github.com/tokiclover/bar-overlay They have since upgraded their ebuild to 0.9.6.1: https://github.com/tokiclover/bar-overlay/issues/20 HOWEVER, I ran into numerous issues due to the drumkits that can be downloaded from the official hydrogen web site, NOT being upgraded to the latest version of hydrogen. The xml format has changed since 0.9.5. See: https://github.com/hydrogen-music/hydrogen/issues/348 https://github.com/hydrogen-music/hydrogen/issues/349 Basically, 1) Hydrogen 0.9.6.1 is working perfectly and can safely be upgraded BUT: 2) official drumkits have NOT yet been upgraded. They are still useable but throw a lot of errors on the console. 3) users who have previously downloaded those old drumkits will see those errors. So: add a warning message to that effect in the ebuild. Note also the new USE flags. This has stalled. If you are genuine in wanting to proxy-maintain the package, you need declare so here in Comment and submit an ebuild or a unified diff via an attchment. I'll try finding someone form this project Looks like https://github.com/hydrogen-music/hydrogen/releases/latest points to 0.9.7 now. @augustin have you been working with this ebuild lately anymore? No, sorry. I haven't used hydrogen in a long while. Hydrogen 0.9.5 rebuild failed after upgrade to gcc 6.3.0. Pulled source for 0.9.7 from sourceforge. Looking at editing the 0.9.5 build to work with this version, but having problems. Source compiles manually (unpack, cd to /var/tmp/portage/media-sound/hydrogen-0.9.7/work/hydrogen-0.9.7, make build, build r n) but required that I added dev-qt/qtxmlpatterns:4 Not sure how to translate the commands to the correct ebuild syntax to use it with portage. The beta ebuild in the bar overlay worked for me, just remove the _beta2 from the file name, and it successfully builds 0.9.7, and it also seems to work fine. Created attachment 511018 [details]
hydrogen-0.9.7.ebuild
Didn't see bar overlay ebuild before proposing this one
with
source directory pointing github
EAPI 6
rubberband turned off by default as cmake -LH informed it is buggy
not sure everything is fine, but seems working
hope feedback

hydrogen-9999.ebuild
latest development versions are now using qt5
Thanks for your contribution. We should not bother with another Qt4 bump anymore. If git master works sufficiently well, maybe a snapshot can be added to tree.
