There are a few people like myself who are interested in working on pacman. I started looking at pacman code a few weeks back, had a look at bug tracker and send a patch for a simple feature(pacman -Qo which). After that i was stuck because i couldnt find anything to work on. Most of the feature requests are huge changes and it doesnt seem that there is consent on those even within current developers. So it would be better if we can have a roadmap sort of thing for pacman ( not the TODO.dan and TODO.aaron in source) with features which developers want to include but are unable because of lack of time. Basically something which beginners can use to get their hand wet......... (If such a list already exists, i couldnt find it) Thanks On Sat, Dec 13, 2008 at 7:48 PM, Dan McGee <dpmcgee@gmail.com> wrote:
Simple fact- there is no one that is both interested AND can program in C.
If I attached a $500 bounty, we might get results. Until then, we just don't have enough people in the community actually interested in working on pacman- just those that ask for new features. This code has been posted on every single mailing list, every developer has seen it, etc. and yet we still have no one else working on it. I can't quit my day job.
