Thanks for the notice, everything has been bumped now.
What is going on? This is *STILL MASKED*??? Did someone drop the ball, or what? I'm like, about to be filing a report to claws developers and for the very first time my claws-mail is out of date. Please, a DEV, please reply as to why is this version bump was not taken care of promptly as in the past? And for the love of all holy and good -- if the package is masked, please leave the bug OPEN until it's not...???

I checked my eix output, http://packages.gentoo.org/package/mail-client/claws-mail, my local mask files, mask files on sources.gentoo.org and nowhere a mask of anything claws related is to be found. Your turn.

I just sync'd and no joy. So a diff of claws-mail-3.7.2.ebuild to 3.7.3-r1 gives me: < KEYWORDS="alpha amd64 hppa ppc ppc64 sparc x86 ~x86-fbsd" --- > KEYWORDS="~alpha ~amd64 ~hppa ~ppc ~ppc64 ~sparc ~x86 ~x86-fbsd" Which is why is still seems unavailable to me. So, either my sync is bunk, or the ebuild isn't stable, but rather, now "testing" for everyone? I don't know for sure, but I'm doing my best to understand what has changed in the system. Now it's got a keyword mask? I'm not a dev, so I have to Google... "keyword mask". Sure enough, yeah, this package is still, like, "masked". Without my coffee in hand, it loses caps and splats, but still... so, like -- I guess, uh "your turn"? ;-)
Ok, a classical misunderstanding. I thought you were talking about the ebuild being "hard masked", which it is not. It is normally masked by the testing keyword. My plans for stabilisation have been pushed back by bugs in between and a delayed amd64 keywording of some plugins which should go stable, too. Now the new version is announced and I will do that to avoid too much work on the stabilisation teams. Don't worry, Claws is still well-maintained in Gentoo.

Here we are, new version is... 3.7.5 and I have... 3.7.2 still? What is the deal? Are you all running ~* so don't notice or care, or can I have some x86 stabilized to current? Don't care about amd64, or any plugins. Can't you stabilize C-M for x86 whatever the problems with amd64? Or, just say you won't, don't care, (whatever), but please just tell me if in fact I'll now have to go "unstable" for claws (gah, and dependencies too probably) if I don't want to keep looking at old bugs and still have missing features. Or, do I have to file a new Gentoo bug to get a clue as to what is going on? I'm, like, not party to your IRC chats, you know? So can you elaborate a bit on what's going on? And why is this bug *closed* if 3.7.2 is still the latest "stable" version in "the tree"? Resolved "fixed", even? (/me goes to tear out some more hair, muttering "WTF, WTF, WTF...") Available versions: 3.7.2 ~3.7.3-r1 ~3.7.4 ( -- to show I'm not lying, just synched this morning.) 3.7.2 is the only "stable" version available. Why? From my perspective, this, quite simply, is just not like it has been for all the time I've used Gentoo and Claws-Mail. Tell me please, what has changed? Can it be remedied?
Stay calm, breath in deeply. Before you are so noisy please make yourself comfortable with the procedures within Gentoo. 3.7.4 has been added to Portage on 08 January 2010. 3.7.3 has not been stabilised because ~amd64 has been added to some plugins fast enough by the responsible party, I explained that already. Gentoo policy wants 30 bug-free days in ~arch before a stabilisation can be requested, which is not over yet. Currently I am not at home, so not much I can do about 3.7.5 at the moment. If you want to get a package added or stabilised you could file a bug instead of writing lengthy complaints on a bug like this. I am not monitoring Claws mail page every day.
