Horrifying how old C was basically a dynamically typed language, but without type checks even at runtime.
I would love to help modernize these tools. Is the process to submit a merge request still based on mail lists? Can I just open a GitHub Pull Request somewhere if I decide to fix some package? Is there a list of packages that no one has picked up yet?
I'm sure you could get lots of people like me willing to help if you just made contributions a bit easier to make.
- munch117 3y agoThe term is weakly typed. Weak vs. strong and dynamic vs. static are orthogonal.

- uecker 3y agoThe process depends on the package. If there is an active upstream project, a github pull request or similar would often do. It might be a good idea to coordinate with the distributions involved. For gentoo, a tracking bug seems to be here: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=gcc-14 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=gcc-14
