Please reintroduce sigil-0.6.2 in tree Using stable gentoo amd64. Today sigil 0.6.2 was removed from tree (depends qt4). Like Qt5 is not stable, I've to unmask qt5 to install sigil 0.8... Reproducible: Always

Assigning this to mrueg since removing 0.6.2 was his decision: https://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/app-text/sigil/ChangeLog?r1=1.16&r2=1.17
Assigning to tomboy as it is his package. I dropped 0.62 as it was released in 2012 and the qt4 branch does not see any updates. It was not marked stable, so dropping it should not be a problem at all. Sooner or later you'll have to move toward qt5. I recommend this as the package saw a lot of fixes since 2012 [1] and we won't keep qt4 forever. [1] https://github.com/user-none/Sigil/blob/master/ChangeLog.txt
I introduced Sigil 0.7 into the tree precisely to get rid of 0.6. Apart from that, Manuel's comment is valid: Sigil 0.6 is horribly stale. So bite the bullet and start using Qt5 (which is quite usable). Look at the deps of this to see how "unstable" qt5 really is: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=543326 If you really must have it, put it in your own overlay. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:Parts/Portage/CustomTree#Adding_unofficial_ebuilds You can get it from here: https://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/app-text/sigil/?hideattic=0
