Description Stuart Shelton 2004-08-03 05:02:32 UTC
bidwatcher is now completely broken due to changes in eBay.  It should be removed from x86/stable, as it now segfaults on startup if there are existing auctions, or segfaults as soon as one is added otherwise.

Patches are being worked on, there is a suggested patch at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=991368&group_id=2973&atid=302973

Can bidwatcher please be reverted to ~x86, and have the latest experimental patch from SF applied to it in the ebuild?

This patch is directly from SF.
Ending times and/or comments may still be corrupt, but bidwatcher no longer
segfaults.

it's badly broken for me as well, nothing works, and there's been no cvs commits for months...revert back to ~x86 sounds like a good idea to me.
