I do not really have interest in this package. The fork was just in |
24 |
order to be able to make a drive-by musl fix. (It was a low-hanging |
25 |
fruit from the list of musl build failures from blueness' tinderbox.) |
26 |
(Fixing https://bugs.gentoo.org/580326 would actually also fix the |
27 |
musl issue.) |

Since the upstream project has only 4 commits of which the last was in |
30 |
2014, and there is no other github activity apart from my pull request, |
31 |
the interest in this package seems to be rather low, and I would suggest |
32 |
considering last-riting it. |
