Description Ben Kohler gentoo-dev 2017-10-27 13:54:22 UTC
Autobuild of x86 installcd has been failing since April.  It's failing to build net-dialup/globespan-adsl, we should remove this from the installcd package list.  I'm willing to bet that no one has used this in years, it's only used on very specific very old ADSL modems, and upstream hasn't updated it in over 10 years.

The x86 installcd build is also affected by bug 635576.
Comment 2 Ben Kohler gentoo-dev 2017-10-27 16:56:58 UTC
This first failure coincides with the stabilization of gcc-5, it looks like globespan-adsl-0.12 needs fixes for gcc-5.

Judging by the lack of any other bug report on this, I think it's safe to say that nobody's using this package.

Let's remove it from our installcds, and treeclean it.
