Half a year ago I noticed that the cdf package is badly maintained and wrote a
new ebuild for v.3.0. While I was at it I also noticed that it seems like
upstream names the tarballs "cdfXY-*"  no matter to which x.y.Z version it has
been updated. So either upstream should be convinced to include the full
version in the tarball or we need to rename the tarballs and mirror locally.

cdf-3.0.ebuild

In case someone picks this up and finds the ebuild useful. I really don't want
to maintain this package, though.

It is certainly useful to me on ppc.
The 2.7 version in portage has text relocations problems
when I used it with labplot. Your ebuild didn't suffer
from this problem. May be it should be forwarded to the 
science overlay?

Yet another year gone without anyone caring. Latest release is 3.1.1.

Hum... I will have to check the science overlay. If you care, may be you should 
become proxy-maintainer for the package?
Or may be I should fill a bug for labplot and put this one as blocker for it :)

Feel free to fix whatever's bugging you, just don't break anything =)

carlo, can you please take care of this yourself? You likely know the package
better than QA.

No, I'm not going to touch this package. I barely have the time to care for
stuff I do already. If no one from the sci team wants to take care I propose
removing the two optional dependencies on cdf and removing the package from the
tree.

I updated cdf-3.1 in cvs. I don't know the package, but seems to be used. If
anyone could give it a shot, please do. Closing for now.
