https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=199582 --- Comment #8 from John Marino <marino@FreeBSD.org> --- (In reply to Chris Hutchinson from comment #7) > I still don't see myself as unqualified. Well, as I said up front, it's based on reviewing your previous works. I'm sure there's been some improvement, but I think this is expert-level stuff. I am not willing to denote that title to you yet. > So am I to understand that *potentially* making portmaster better > would also leave it "hated"? There's no "potentially" here. Either it gets better or it doesn't. Until it does, it's definitely hated. If it did get all the stuff fixed it would only be merely annoying -- but since no official is maintaining it, it can be disowned. So basically -- if it's fully functional, nobody can complain about it. > Is there no salvation for portmaster? Personally I don't get why it deserves salvation. I think it's time came and went, but the answer is within my previous. I think the best approach is prove that you are qualified -- and you do that by proving patches to fix all the reported problems. If you fixed them all and nobody else is doing it, I'd say you would have proven you can and should be the maintainer. So just use bugzilla, search for "portmaster" and start fixing them. Don't worry about the title. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
