hello world

Well I decided that I should procrastinate no longer and get the blog going. I am a new dev and looking forward to contributing to Gentoo where I am able. Currently I am in net-mail and netmon and am looking to get the following into portage:

* kolab
* stager
* flowscan
* jkflow

and lots more! We will see how it goes :)

I think perhaps the best way to introduce myself is to keep with the recent fashion of posting my nerd score:
I am nerdier than 98% of all people. Are you nerdier? Click here to find out!

oh, yeah. please get rid of Kolab in an ideal way - that is, making use of the already existing ebuilds for proftp, apache and co. I'd really like kolab working in, but I dislike the /kolab approach just because they think it's best for them(tm)

I don't think it can be done like that. The basic issue is that for each of the component parts kolab has extensive patchsets, so that if I don't somehow lock the subcomponent versions I will be left trying to maintain mammoth patchsets against constantly revving packages. Currently the most elegant way I can think of doing it is to provite a single kolab package that will block its namesakes, at least this way I can effectively version lock, something which portage can't do right now. I am very interested in any ways you can think of to implement it using existing gentoo packages as that is my preferred method as well. I will certainly be staying away from using the openpkg setup they use and I will look to make kolab FHS compliant where possible.
