Description Troy Bowman 2013-10-08 05:47:15 UTC
I ran into the buffer overflow puke as described here:

http://sourceforge.net/p/oww/discussion/296766/thread/d70ded69/

Simon Melhuish, the maintainer of oww, says the buffer overflow problem was fixed in 0.86.3 and later.  0.86.4 is out, might as well bump to that.

A little side fix while we're doing the version bump: I need to compile oww without gtk support using the a "-gtk" use flag.  Even with -gtk, it still requires the gtk libraries.  I would propose a small change to the ebuild file (which I will attach shortly).  I have tested it, and it works fine.  I'm running owwnogui with that change now, and with no X or gtk dependencies.


Reproducible: Always
