Currently the uclibc overlay is being housed under hardened-dev overlay as a branch --- like musl overlay used to be. It should be its own overlay. Can we have: 1) https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/uclibc.git 2) I should have the only commit access (for now). 3) It should be world readable by everyone. 4) It should show up on layman -L list. Thanks. Reproducible: Always
Actually Joshua (aka kumba) may want access too.
i don't believe in sep repos. merge the patches/fixes into the main tree.
(In reply to SpanKY from comment #2) > i don't believe in sep repos. merge the patches/fixes into the main tree. some devs hate cluttering their ebuilds with uclibc specific patches. like bug #486782. if people are okay with conditional patches like use elibc_uclibc && epatch "${FILESDIR}"/uclibc-specific.patch then we can get rid of the overlay. there are only two ebuild in the overlay right now so now is a good time to kill it.
I agree with vapier here. Overlay means things are going to get out of sync a lot, and people are going to break your patches accidentally. If you push them to ::gentoo, we'd at least break them on purpose ;-).
