Description Michael Mair-Keimberger (mm1ke) 2018-09-01 18:21:00 UTC
Hi,

I was looking at this package and it looks like it might be better to remove it?
* There is no package depending on app-text/clara
* it's maintainer needed
* last release was 2003
* the ebuilds are at EAPI0 and 5
* the homepage isn't correct and was taken over by someone else.
* open bug 521242
There is however a fork on github [1] with some commits until 2012. Otherwise it seems pretty dead for me

Any objections?

* SRC_URI="mirror://gentoo/${P}.tar.gz" is no valid SRC_URI
* hardly any distributions use it: https://repology.org/metapackage/clara/versions
