I will start fixing others packages unless someones stops me now :) eva@gentoo.org 2008-02-24 22:13:43 0000 Of the stuff I have installed on my various machines, here is what's left to do: app-pda/libopensync-0.22 dev-java/javatoolkit-0.2.0-r1 dev-util/subversion-1.4.6 dev-lang/python-2.5.1-r5 dev-python/wxpython-2.6.4.0 media-gfx/gimp-2.4.3 net-analyzer/nmap-4.53 net-mail/fetchmail-6.3.8-r1 net-mail/mailman-2.1.9-r2 net-zope/zopeinterface-3.0.1-r1 Obviously there is probably much more across the tree so maybe we should consider adding this test to the QA list of portage. Anyway, gnome herd should be clean now, removing us from CC. eva@gentoo.org 2008-05-02 15:40:51 0000 reassigning to qa so they are aware of this stuff.
