Description Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2024-01-17 18:40:37 UTC
Both build systems are unmaintained in ::gentoo and have no reverse dependencies.  dev-build/tup was last released in 2021 and has a number of bugs reported.  dev-build/cons was last released in 2001.

Hello,

I quite like dev-build/tup and am using it in various personal projects.
It'd be sad to see it disappear from gentoo.

What would be the procedure to take on the maintainership of this package ?

Best regards.
