  • [gentoo-dev] Help wanted with net-misc/frr maintenance

    From =?UTF-8?Q?Jakov_Smoli=c4=87?=@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jul 12 11:00:02 2023
    Hi all,
    I was recently left as the sole maintainer of net-misc/frr and given I'm
    not actively using the package anymore it would be good if someone who
    is an active user could take over. There are several open bugs and a new upstream release.

    I can stay as a secondary maintainer and help out (non-Gentoo developers
    are also welcome, I can proxy for you), otherwise if no one is
    interested I'll drop the package to maintainer-needed soon.

    Regards,

    I’m already maintaining bird, so I could happily step in for frr as
    well!

    Great!

    If you want to get started it would be good to update the package (and dev-util/clippy with it too) to latest version and fix some of the open
    bugs. Feel free to ping me on IRC if you run into problems or need any help.

    Thanks,

    Happy to assist where I can.  For the most part frr "just works" for us though.  Also not something we like to upgrade on a frequent basis
    unless there is a specific reason to.

    Kind Regards,
    Jaco


    FYI: upstream also has a (neglected?) overlay on their site: https://github.com/FRRouting/gentoo-overlay

    I bumped the version my overlay (because it’s easy) and upgraded one of
    my machines:
    rr2 ~ # vtysh

    Hello, this is FRRouting (version 8.5.2-gentoo).

    I’ll let it run through the night and push tomorrow if nagios is happy.
