Thank you for your help in trying to get the app-doc/repodoc package |
42 |
back to live :-) |
43 |
|
44 |
I've found some information on this package: |
45 |
|
46 |
1. I've contacted Fernando Pereda (ferdy), one of the authors of |
47 |
repodoc. He told me (as expected) that this package is no longer |
48 |
maintained. He recommends to find out if the translatos are |
49 |
currently using this package (seems very reasonable). |
50 |
Besides, the package is not very secure, since it allows to run |
51 |
commands by using a specially modify doc. |
52 |
It is slow and the technologies used (bash and sed) are not the |
53 |
proper ones to manage XML. |
54 |
|
55 |
2. I've pinged the gentoo-translators maillist [1] to find |
56 |
translators who are using this package. I've got only one |
57 |
negative answer in a week or so. |
58 |
|
59 |
3. I've taken a look at the package's unresolved bugs: |
60 |
197617 - Seems tough to fix, according to yoswink and neysx |
61 |
comments. |
62 |
297946 - I've posted a comment [2] in this bug. No answer at |
63 |
the moment. |
64 |
297947 - Haven't check yet. |
65 |
299753 - Seems easy to fix. |
66 |
|
67 |
So, IMO you can mark it for removal. |
68 |
|
69 |
Regards. |
