Botain -1.4.9 was added on 08 Nov 2005. It recently had a small patch for gcc-4.[01] support but otherwise has had no bugs reported. botan-1.4.9 includes a comprehensive test suite available with FEATURES=test please stabilise this package.
forgot to mention, this is in accordance with advice from the author Jack Lloyd (https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=117548#c6)

botan has a USE flag dependency on dev-libs/gmp and the current stable version on x86 (gmp-4.1.4) contains executable stacks. I see from Bug #115038 that this has been fixed in gmp-4.1.4-r2 but the patch has been in the tree for just over a week. My thought is that we should stablize the fixed version of gmp at the same time as botan. Does this make sense to everyone else?
The executable stack fix that I put in was a minor one so I'd say yes. stabilising gmp-4.1.4-r2 will also fix mpfr issues on the stable. dev-libs/mpfr/mpfr-2.2.0_p4 probably should go stable too. (gmp used to provide mpfr libs but it got transitioned to its own package)
The x86 team decided to not worry about the executable stacks at this time and to let the patch for gmp sit for 30 days before marking gmp stable. Having said that botan itself looks good so it is stable on x86.
I'll try to remember to do a bug in 30days for gmp and mpfr Thanks

(In reply to comment #6) > I'll try to remember to do a bug in 30days for gmp and mpfr It has been 30 days, if you want to file the bugs.
quite right - was wanting to talk to vapier about gmp weither to stabilize -r3 or -r2. mpfr -I'm going for _p8 version as it fixes all known faults. Mike - does this sound ok?
-r3 is a better idea ... it's just -r2 with the patches redone so it doesnt require autotools -r2 wont work with catalyst for example in generating stages
looks fixed to me - Thanks Jack.
