Sorry, but enough time has passed again. Masked for removal with libffi.

there's an new separate libffi in tree now, the old versions are gone. 
gtk-server needs to be tested with it.

Please bump this package and make it use virtual/libffi, it's now at the KEYWORDREQ state in bug 272046.

Unmasked, but it still needs a version bump. Please use virtual/libffi, which is also unmasked.

I tried to bump it, but it's someway forcing CFLAGS so append-cflags won't work as like

append-cflags "$(pkg-config --cflags-only-I libffi)"

for the ./configure to find up the ffi.h

second option is to use ffcall package, but it's even more broken. I think it's best to fix the libffi detection or lastrite the whole pkg.

Your call.. Sorry, but I've had it with this one.

Gone.
