I spent a significant chunk of time today on scripts to track down all the packages that still aren’t ported to modular X and identify their maintainers. Read more from the gentoo-dev list.
Over the next week, I plan to track the total number of unported packages in hopes of seeing a gradual decline. Once that decline gets low enough, I’ll unmask modular X so the testing (~arch) folks can get at it more easily. It’ll still require the migration guide, though.
If you want to join the effort to get the tree ported to modular X, take a look at my latest list of unported packages on the gentoo-dev thread linked earlier, read the porting guide and jump in!
