Created attachment 513760 [details] nfoview-1.23.ebuild nfoview is sheduled for removal since, no up-to-date version is in the tree and the current version has a bug (see Bug 614314). Instead removing nfoview completely, please add the current version to the tree. An ebuild is attached. I changed the website and download URL. Otherwise it is identical to the current tree version.
Thank you for your contribution. I had a short look on the ebuild. Here a few ideas: * Please test the ebuild with repoman full -x https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Repoman * KEYWORDS need ~ after a version bump run ekeyword ~all YOUREBUILD * please fix the header. (see /usr/portage/skel.ebuild and https://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/eapi/) # Copyright 1999-2017 Gentoo Foundation -> # Copyright 1999-2018 Gentoo Foundation is #614314 fixed in this version? Do you know this package well and want to take care of future bug reports and maintain this ebuild as proxied maintainer? -----8<---------------------------------------------- # Pacho Ramos <pacho@gentoo.org> (28 Dec 2017) # Fails at runtime (#614314). Removal in a month. app-text/nfoview
Created attachment 513778 [details] nfoview-1.23.ebuild (v2, fixed header, removed keywords) * Header is fixed * Keywords are removed * I am unsure if the errors given in Bug 614314 are related to the crash, but both warnings/errors given the bug are fixed in 1.23 (also see the other bug for details) * RepoMan sez(sic! / :-)) OK ----- # repoman -dx full RepoMan scours the neighborhood... Note: use --without-mask to check KEYWORDS on dependencies of masked packages RepoMan sez: "If everyone were like you, I'd be out of business!"
(of course the keywords are not removed, but adjusted to testing) Regarding the proxy-maintainership: I am willing to do the work. I am not familiar to any code details in the nfoview project (yet), but I am willing to investigate them as necessary. I do not fully get the git pull request procedure in https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Proxy_Maintainers/User_Guide. Should I discuss the details in the IRC channel #gentoo-proxy-maint?
I won't undo the removal until the package finally gets a new maintainer taking care of it, I will CC proxy-maint then :/
OK, I am currently creating the pull request to become the proxy maintainer.

Can someone please undo the removal mask? Everything is in place (new version in tree, package got a (proxy-)maintainer).
