I would prefer to use musl-fts as it is used by both Alpine and Void, so |
| 48 |
it makes maintenance a bit easier -- and for the reason that I mentioned |
| 49 |
earlier -- I couldn't get it to link with elfutils (though it may be |
| 50 |
possible to get it to work). |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
In the meantime while we phase out fts-standalone, I can move over |
| 53 |
packages in the Gentoo tree that depend on it such as app-arch/pax |
| 54 |
(which isn't building right now anyway). |
