Years ago I packaged ruby libraries internally at my job. I'm a
developer for Chef, and I jumped at the opportunity to create debian
packages for Chef. At the time, I did not work for Opscode so I handed
packaging for the projects that Opscode sponsors over to Joshua
Timberman, who did. I can definitely maintain the libraries that Chef
still uses, the others I would continue if I can discover they're
still of use to comeone
Chef still uses:
> libbunny-ruby
> libextlib-ruby
Depreciated:
> libstomp-ruby
> libsystemu-ruby
> stompserver
However, I'm not a DD and I've gotten most of my mentorship and
uploads from users of Chef who happen to be a DD and were willing to
sponsor these packages. I would really like to help DRE more, as I
believe in the cause. With the uncertain state of DRE, I'm not sure
where to turn. If there is a process through which I can get reliable
mentorship, I can commit time to the team.
