Perforce is no longer in the tree

Perforce is a great product, and their people were very kind to me back in the 90’s when I needed a VCS for NQS, but since I switched to using Subversion, I simply don’t use Perforce any more. No-one has volunteered to take over maintaining Perforce any more, so this morning I removed it from the tree.
The packages can now be found in my personal overlay, just in case there’s a Gentoo user who’d like access so that they can learn how to maintain them. If you’re interested, come and talk to me in #gentoo-php or #gentoo-overlays on irc.freenode.net.

Jesus de Santos Garcia and myself have been trying to take over maintainership of peforce and have submitted ebuilds to the Gentoo bug 146436.
Every Gentoo person I have emailed tells me I need to find a developer to be a mentor. There is no process for how to do this and there is no identifiable contact person for someone wishing to take this over.

Create an account in bugs.gentoo.org and start to write comments, test packages, etc. It is a good way to start in the path to become a gentoo developer.
