Hello,

This is expected, I stop to maintain my web site.

I can relocate files somewhere else, if you have any suggestion for free storage, or we can remove the page package, as I currently not maintaining it any-more.

Best regards.

Hi Benoit

Thanks for the response. How about moving the project/source code to Github/Gitlab?
Comment 3 Benoit Gschwind 2020-06-15 08:02:29 UTC
Hello Patrice,

The sources are already on GitHub [1], but the package need to generate autotool files that aren't in the git repository, maybe I can create a release branch with missing files. It will also require to update link to the GitHub page, and I will probably migrate documentation to GitHub also. I will consider it, I keep you in touch.

Best regards.

Hello,

I updated my github repository to host a proper package of page.

I also updated the ebuild accordingly to fetch the package from github. I also updated links to the page's web page.

Let me know if this solving all pending issues.
