| 1 | I'm masking app-arch/gzip-x86 as we speak. It seems to cause problems |
| 2 | for people[1] and is based off of gzip-1.3.3. As such, it is vulnerable |
| 3 | to a couple[2] exploits[3]. Upstream appears dead (last update was |
| 4 | 2003-05-20) and no one is currently maintaining it for us. If you don't |
| 5 | want to see it go, speak up, or it will be gone in 30 days. |
