Just noting should anyone wonder at the 15 days, this package has been |
| 10 |
masked since (apparently) the first of December, just not last-rited. |
| 11 |
Additionally, it has been causing various problems for quite some time |
| 12 |
before that, and on the kde lists I've been recommending one of the other |
| 13 |
two backends for well over a year, now. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
So hopefully this will get anyone who's still on it to switch to |
| 16 |
something else rather better, and this thing can be put to rest. |
