This package historically belongs to the gnustep herd, but ffcall |
| 2 |
support in |
| 3 |
gnustep has been deprecated for some time now in favor of libffi (in |
| 4 |

| 5 |
USE-flag may go away soon) |

Also, I do not have the time to work on it, although it requires a bit |
| 8 |
of work: |
| 9 |
* switch to "new" upstream (recommending to grab CVS tarballs) at |
| 10 |
http://www.gnu.org/software/libffcall/ |
| 11 |
* a bunch of opened issues (parallel make/install, ldflags, execstacks, |
| 12 |

So if you are interested, please add yourself to metadata.xml (and |
| 16 |
remove |
| 17 |
gnustep herd) and start bug sqashing. As a bonus, you will still have a |
| 18 |
backup |
| 19 |
herd (common-lisp), thoug a real maintainer would be great |
