Good reasons: -) Zarro Boogs found -) In tree long enough -) Current stable is from an abandoned branch around 2006. Thanks! Reproducible: Always
Hi, so this package will fail it's tests since these try to fetch stuff from the old homepage. (Old upstream died around 2006, and new upstream has not put up a homepage or fixed tests). Failures look like this: HTTP Error 500 : http://www.linux.duke.edu/projects/urlgrabber/test/reference I will look at it if I find the time...
Hmm, and for some reason that I don't understand the ebuild does not die on test failures. Python team?
urlgrabber-3.9.1.ebuild doesn't run any tests.

(In reply to comment #3) Apparently there's a makefile. I have restricted tests.
