Description Kent Fredric (IRC: kent\n) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-03-01 21:22:09 UTC 
Essentially, whoever added this for dkimproxy failed to see dev-perl/net-server sitting there, and now we've got 2 different packages for the same upstream package.

Sure, 'net-server' doesn't fit our recent naming scheme, but its a legacy problem.

Additionally, Net-Server doesn't use the perl teams versioning scheme, and its presence will possibly cause weird bugs if anyones unfortunate enough to use portage on a case-insensitive file-system.

Comment 1 Jason A. Donenfeld gentoo-dev 2013-03-02 04:12:37 UTC 
Quickly band-aided by just straight up removing the new package and adjusting dkimproxy, before other things rely on it. As it's brand new anyway, I don't think this should cause issue and warrants skirting the usual thirty day policy.
