• [gentoo-dev] Package up for grabs: dev-util/cvise

    From =?UTF-8?Q?Micha=C5=82_G=C3=B3rny?=@21:1/5 to All on Tue Nov 7 16:20:01 2023
    Hello,

    dev-util/cvise is now looking for a new maintainer.

    It is fairly low maintenance package. It's in need of a version bump
    right now, as well as testing with llvm:17 and python:3.12 (both seem to
    work fine).

    The main problem with it is that it happens to hit some bugs in sys- devel/clang[debug] that cause crashes, and I don't really have the
    resources to rebuild sys-devel/clang just to test this one package.  
    Note that these are actually upstream bugs of clang and not cvise. They haven't been fixed for years because big tech just doesn't care that
    clang sometimes crashes on random code.

    Adopted for toolchain@ as it's pretty essential for us. Co-maintainers
    very welcome.

    thanks,
