Description Jan Breig 2023-09-06 20:30:07 UTC
Upstream flagged exa as unmaintained (no release in 2 years). There is a community fork called `eza` that continues the project.

I suggest to replace exa with eza.

Upstream issue: https://github.com/ogham/exa/issues/1243
Eza project: https://github.com/eza-community/eza
Comment 1 Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2023-09-07 07:58:04 UTC
Most importantly, eza will contain the Gentoo icon I added to exa which never got into a release.

Ebuild for eza, mostly copied from exa.
