Hi there |

net-proxy/squid needs your love. Bug #311927 and Bug #304751 require a |
4 |
version bump. Our user community did an excellent job there providing an |
5 |
improved ebuild for that. Furthermore there are several open security |
6 |
bugs wrt squid [1][2][3][4]. net-proxy herd what is your status? |
7 |
Security bugs should be your first priority. If you are unable to |
8 |
maintain certain packages you could ask for help instead of staying |
9 |
quiet. Maybe we should list this |
10 |
package as maintainer-needed and request some proxy-maintainers from our |
11 |
user community. What do you think about that? |

@Council: Yet another example that we need to track the status of every |
14 |
single project in order to have a clear picture of which projects are |
15 |
active and which are dead |
16 |
|
17 |
@QA: Should step up and commit these ebuilds just to get |
18 |
rid of the security bugs which, frankly, don't look that good ( distro |
19 |
wise ). I know technically is not our job, but we need to step up here |
20 |
and either fix the security bugs since net-proxy can't do that, or mask |
21 |
this package which is a no-go. |
