no bugs open, out 30+ days, works fine both with and without proxy on a mostly-stable amd64 setup. Note - bug 99160 requests that this ebuild be modified to add support for c-ares on amd64. The ebuild works fine as-is (without c-ares support). Recommend creating a -r1 ebuild which enables c-ares on amd64 and keywording that ~amd64, but the existing 7.14.0 ebuild should be stable. Note that if you create a -r1 you may (or may not) need to depend on a particular version of c-ares - see bug 99160.
waiting for maintainer arch to go stable
