We have no IRC channel at this time. Message us individually in you need something.

Goals

Over all, we handle the maintenance and development of the sys-kernel/genkernel package.

11:18:23 @maffblaster| robbat2: Mind if I join the genkernel team?
11:18:28 @robbat2    | do it
11:18:42 @robbat2    | see my comments on the -soc mailing list for what I want to happen to genkernel
11:18:45 @robbat2    | re dracut
11:18:46 @maffblaster| me and mudler are going to work on merging gk/gk-next
11:18:52 @maffblaster| ok
11:18:57 @robbat2    | yes, please get all of the gk-next features merged to GK
11:19:09 @robbat2    | then the initramfs parts replaced by dracut
11:19:27 @robbat2    | which looks like it's ~85% of the way there to what we need
11:19:34 @robbat2    | with a small shim layer for user options
