Two things: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
1) I'm *really* tired of the usage of the word "slacking" on this |
| 19 |
mailing list. If you or someone else wants to pay me to work on |
| 20 |
Gentoo, *then* you can tell me that I'm slacking. Otherwise, I'm a |
| 21 |
volunteer working on things that interest me in my free time. I truly |
| 22 |
do have more important things to do than to figure out how to port |
| 23 |
pngcrush to libpng1.5. Namely, graduate school and midterm exams. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
2) What exactly is it that you want me to do here? Upstream is aware |
| 26 |
of the problem, and seems to be working on it as there are comments |
| 27 |
about libpng15 in pngcrush.c. Hanno kindly stepped in and made |
| 28 |
pngcrush use a bundled libpng14 (and at the same time bundled zlib, |
| 29 |
which has now been fixed), which you promptly masked. I'm not sure if |
| 30 |
the problem is bundled libs in general or specifically zlib, but we |
| 31 |
*know* it's distasteful. It's not like that's a preferred or permanent |
| 32 |
solution. Do you find that somehow more distasteful than removing a |
| 33 |
piece of software from from portage that's been in the tree since |
| 34 |
2002? |
