Hi Christian,
I don't know how things go in Gentoo Development, but would it be
possible to have a Gentoo-GIS web page where one can always find updated
links?

Thanks Stefano to ask this question.
Gentoo Devs are slow to include in portage user proposed ebuilds, but
softwares like GRASS or QGIS are too quick in development to follow
Bugzilla rules and they always aren't up-to-date in portage.
ATM, I'm thinking of opening a separate overlay for GIS stuff, which
can be used with layman. I've tried to contact gentoo-sciences herd
asking for join some ebuilds I have developed to gentoo-sciences
overlay, but without an answer.
I have 2 problems in opening right now an overlay:
* I am graduating in 2 months, so I think I cannot have the time right
now to do so;
* I'm experiencing serious problems with my ISP: I cannot download nor
load anything on the net.
If the idea sounds interesting to Gentoo users in here, I think we can
establish a mailing list to plain things more smoothly and to work it
out.
it's not first time, when somebody steps forward for having GRASS on Gentoo.
When I had fast machines running Gentoo, I was working on ebuilds too, but
nowdays I have no fast enough boxes to run Gentoo. I hope it will change
Anyway: please, take look at http://cemml.carleton.ca:8080/OGUG/projects/gentoo-grass Maybee it is
possible to just reuse already existing infrastructure (as possible).
Gentoo GIS overlay is not a bad idea, only - where to host it? And who will
maintain it (there is need for one main person besides ebuild devs/testers)?
Maris.

Well, I am subscribed to their ml, but seems to me that there wasn't
any sort of message for months. But that's a good idea, I will bother
them too

On where host it, sourceforge.net can be a choice. Some other overlays
are hosted there (for example, Italian Gentoo users overlays).
For the main person, first let's see who wants to partecipate to the
project
