Hello. flexget has no maintainer. Latest release in portage is about 1.5 years old. 9999 ebuild doesn't work. Relies on unsupported packages, e.g. guessit-1. Several open bugs: 588846, 556796, 498012. Some from 2014. Since nobody is willing to work on it, let's remove it.

I'd like to become a proxy maintainer for this package and its dependencies. How should I proceed?

Please contact upstream and fix this impossible requirements: #Guessit requires python-dateutil<=2.5.2 python-dateutil>=2.5.3 guessit<=2.0.4 See https://github.com/Flexget/Flexget/blob/2.10.35/requirements.txt Flexget should be able to use guessit>=2.1.0, which supports python-dateutil>=2.5.3.

It already is. The guessit folks removed the dependency on python-dateutil<=2.5.2 a while ago. I'm successfully running flexget using guessit 2.1.2 and python-dateutil 2.5.3. Thus, only flexget's requirements.txt file needs some updating to solve this. I'll try and contact upstream about it.

(In reply to Torsten Kurbad from comment #5) > Upstream issue for reference: > > https://github.com/Flexget/Flexget/issues/1804 It's not as easy. See also https://github.com/Flexget/Flexget/pull/1398
(In reply to Torsten Kurbad from comment #2) Good luck with your efforts. This was the first package I committed in Gentoo's CVS repo, so it's a bit special to me. The upstream developers assume you will run it in a venv, with it's own set of privately versioned dependencies. Making it jive with system-wide packages is a chore, and sometimes impossible. I still intend to remove it on or around 2017-05-05, but the proxy-maint people can help you restore it if/when the remaining issues have be resolved.

FWIW, this was fixed upstream: https://github.com/Flexget/Flexget/commit/08d6406669b38247bd00fb1ef823b93f994b5549
