didn't really have anything to check against since I couldn't find ppc, binary-only pkg linking against libtermcap, but we'll call it good since it seems to build ok stable on ppc
ideally i'd like it if arches would de-KEYWORD libtermcap-compat ... so if you cant find any reason to have it KEYWORDed, please remove your arch :)
Ok I was wrong, there are still a few things for ppc in the tree that still depend on libtermcap: app-misc/aldo (latest version) dev-db/libodbc++ (latest version) mail-client/hap (stable version, not testing) net-p2p/hx (stable version, not testing) sci-mathematics/octave-forge (all versions) I will try to go through these and see which are really linking against libtermcap. If any of them are, I'll need to un-stable -r2 until they have been fixed.
I think the libtermcap-compat dep should be removed from all version of octave-forge.
In comparing the current list vs what was being worked on in bug 103105, it looks like aldo and libodbc++ are new ones that turned up. I'm committing an easy fix for aldo, and am compiling libodbc++ to see what it really needs. In the meantime I'm un-stabling -r2 until the fixed version of hap has been stabilized.
