plah they use maven now

[Comment 2 Johann Schmitz (ercpe) (RETIRED) 2014-01-12 07:38:52 UTC]

The domain castor.org seems to no longer belong to the project. The correct URL is http://castor.codehaus.org/.

[Comment 3 James Le Cuirot 2015-08-08 10:35:34 UTC]

Just an FYI, I had a shot at bumping this a while ago on monsieurp's request but it's a tricky one. Needs to be done though because of a CVE.

[Comment 4 Patrice Clement 2015-08-15 01:27:55 UTC]

This is going to be a monumental PITA to package. Codehaus has been taken down, remember. Sources for version 1.3.3 haven't been replicated somewhere.. yet. Only link I've found so far: https://github.com/Tateology/java-corpus/tree/master/castor-1.3.3

[10:28:19] [ @monsieurp ] !rdep dev-java/castor
[10:28:21] [  willikins ] monsieurp: No packages have a reverse RDEPEND on dev-java/castor.
[10:28:23] [ @monsieurp ] !ddep dev-java/castor
[10:28:24] [  willikins ] monsieurp: No packages have a reverse DEPEND on dev-java/castor.

Let's kill it with fire!

Dump copy and paste. I changed the bug # in package.mask no worries. :)

[Comment 8 James Le Cuirot 2015-10-29 10:09:14 UTC]

Yay! I've never been so glad to see a package leave the tree.

We didn't say it was dead but nothing needs it and the bump was proving painful. I had a shot, saw how hard it was, and never felt like pouring more time into it.
