Subject: [gentoo-dev] We should lastrite splashutils in it's current form and not allow it in tree before it's fixed.
Date: Mon, 21 Jul 2014 15:57:36
Message-Id: 53CD3741.3030007@gentoo.org
1 media-gfx/splashutils fails to build, and it fails everytime one of it's
2 reverse dependency changes dependencies because it fails to use
3 pkg-config to query "Libs: "
4
5 it's supposed to have proxy-maint, but nobody is pushing fixes for the
6 supposed proxy-maint
7
8 it's in no shape to be in tree as-is, and since spock@g.o has retired
9 and was also the upstream of it, well, there is no upstream for it
10
11 no upstream, no downstream, fails to build, bugs with patches but nobody
12 to push them -> lastriting the package in 2 weeks, this
13 is the first heads up mail
