If the package still works fine it does not need to be cleaned.[1] I assign the bug to treecleaners, who attempt to fix simple bugs of packages without maintainer [1] [1] https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Treecleaner/Policy arguments for tree cleaning: * no maintainer * the ebuild needs care * upstream dead * HOMEPAGE SRC_URI dead * unlikely that anybody still uses this software

When was that added? We haven't ever being the ones doing that job, that should be done by anyone in the tree willing to help with maintainer-needed (anyone can be added to the alias if wanted, as I am)
I guess that is due to: "The developer attempts to ascertain the package's problem and tries to find a solution. This may involve asking a related project for advice, revbumping the package in question, making QA ebuild fixes, patching the software, or a number of other tasks." And I think the sense of that is to express that we shouldn't kill packages when the fix is really trivial... but that doesn't mean our objetive is to fix the bugs nobody is taking care about... The best option is to assign to maintainer-needed and CC us when you feel that package is a candidate to be cleaned
The ebuild does not compile. And the errors let assume that it will not compile on other systems: In file included from decode.c:1:0: 7plus.h:260:18: error: array type has incomplete element type ‘struct sgttyb’ struct sgttyb sg[2]; ^ In file included from 7plus.c:91:0: 7plus.h:260:18: error: array type has incomplete element type ‘struct sgttyb’ struct sgttyb sg[2]; ^ I suggest to last-rite this package.

Fine, thanks! One note... we keep the bugs opened until the packages are finally completely removed and, then, we review all the bugs for closing when needed :)
