Hi, I'm filing this in the hope that ~jbigkit-1.6 could be stabilised at some
point in the near future. The reason that I have an interest in this is because
I recently discovered TEXTREL issues in libfaxserver.so provided by the
hylafax-4.2.3-r1 and hylafax-4.2.4 packages (the former has recently been
marked stable and older versions expired). Upon closer investigation, it turned
out that upgrading from jbigkit-1.4 to jbigkit-1.6-r1 then rebuilding jbigkit,
netpbm and hylafax in this exact order fixed the issue entirely.

For the record, I'll attach the scanelf output for the file that was originally
affected and my emerge --info. I'm using a fully hardened system (i.e. PIE/SSP
userland with a tight PaX/grsec policy) with stable packages except for
gcc-3.4.5. By the way, I've chose the assignee on the basis that he is the last
committer and that the package appears to be maintained. I trust and hope that
this was the correct course of action to take.

Sorry, I meant to say that the package appears to be *unmaintained* in my
initial comment.

Spanky, perhaps push this to someone who would?

read the cc list

The value of the Assigned To field has nothing to with the CC list. Who knows,
perhaps it could even be re-assigned to someone not inclined to making flippant
and disparaging remarks.

Since Diego can watch his ~x86-fbsd thing, I'd say this is pretty much done.
