1 Hi there
2
3 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?
12
13 @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.
