Description Anna Vyalkova 2023-03-18 17:59:46 UTC
Upstream has no commits since 2019:
https://github.com/shellinabox/shellinabox

This package provides direct shell access and so having responsive
upstream is a security necessity.

Consider treecleaning.
Comment 1 Anna Vyalkova 2023-03-18 18:01:37 UTC
Possible replacement:

Comment 2 kfm 2023-03-19 07:07:40 UTC
I would add to this report the fact that it doesn't even build successfully against >=openssl-1.1. This was the case when I tried to build it in February 2022 and it remains the case now. In addition to the concern expressed by Anna, it's not being adequately maintained from a downstream perspective either. That being the case, I don't think that it belongs in ::gentoo either.
