Subject: [gentoo-dev] Last rites for app-i18n/jmode
Date: Sat, 06 Jan 2007 20:55:54
Message-Id: 200701062152.42286@enterprise.flameeyes.is-a-geek.org
1 As per summary, this is a last rites message for jmode.
2
3 It's an IME engine that still uses GTK+ 1.2 (we all know what that means), and
4 that was last touched to fix something useful - beside the einfo -> elog move
5 yesterday - on 2004-11-23, by usata, adding the following postinst message:
6
7 elog "jmode is deprecated and not supported by upstream anymore."
8 elog " Please consider switching to app-i18n/uim."
9
10 As the postinst is clear enough, the package is not available anywhere else
11 beside x86, and the ebuild wasn't touched since 2004 to do some other fix,
12 I'll remove it in 30 days from today.
13
14 Note: the gnome support is also tied to gnome 1.x that was removed from the
15 tree already, does not work on gnome 2.x (the dependency is thus wrong).
