Hello there, |

This email is to ask for suggestions about bug #163724 , I am myself one |
4 |
of the maintainer of several packages depending upon such a library, and |
5 |
the current situation isn't helping too much to decide how to handle |
6 |
such a packages. |

|

As we all know, the independent libffi project was long time |
9 |
unmaintained , but it seems like the developers have started to work on |
10 |
it again; I _think_ the best approach would be to give it preference |
11 |
instead of the gcc option. |
12 |
|
13 |
So, I ask, what road should we take? |
14 |
|
15 |
Also, can we probably unmask the dev-libs/libffi package?, it seems to |
16 |
me a bit exaggerated that it is masked. |

Thanks and Regards, |
