Bug 145858 – net-im/aim-transport removal request

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2006-09-01 08:31:49 UTC]

- nothing depends in it
- dead upstream
- doesn't compile w/ gcc-4 (Bug 145855)
- doesn't compile w/ net-im/jabberd-2* (Bug 128860) and it actually breaks it (Bug 129197)
- should be replaced by something that's actually developped, such as pyaim-t (Bug 123160)

> - nothing depends in it

$ pquery2 --revdep net-im/aim-transport --raw
net-im/jabberd-1.4.3-r4
net-im/jabberd-1.4.3-r5
net-im/jabberd-1.4.4-r2

Means =net-im/jabberd-1.4.3* and -1.4.4* DEPENDS on it (at least one stable version).

Gustavo/net-im: What is your preferred solution for this ? Either mark one of the this ebuilds (net-im/jabberd-2.0.9 net-im/jabberd-2.0.10 net-im/jabberd-2.0.11) or remove the aim-transport dependency from the above mentioned ebuilds (1.4.3*/1.4.4*).

humpback doesn't want this any more, see recent email to -dev ML.

Version 1.4.4-r3 resolves it (has also preventive block against net-im/aim-transport), but it's currently masked for further testing, bug #149358 will track progress for stabilization of 1.4.4-r3. After it goes stable all <1.4.4-r3 will be removed and aim-transport can die.

[Comment 4 Ryan Hill (RETIRED) 2006-12-10 05:26:34 UTC]

please don't close dependent bugs as CANT/WONTFIX until the package actually gets removed.  if someone steps up to maintain the package, they often forget to reopen them.

thanks ;d

aim-transport can be now masked and removed.
