Description Volkmar W. Pogatzki 2025-03-31 10:23:32 UTC
sci-geosciences/bt747 is most probably unused.

This package depends on several java libraries which are not used by anything else, some of them which are no longer available "at no charge"[1] or severely broken:

- dev-java/commons-imaging-0.97 (old slot, not used by anything else)
- dev-java/rxtx (not used by anything else, bugs #543096, #761103, #867409, 
  #874444, #898170, #939374)
- dev-java/swingx-beaninfo (not used by anything else)
- dev-java/swingx-ws (not used by anything else)
- dev-java/swingx (not used by anything else)
- dev-java/jchart2d (not used by anything else)
- dev-java/jcalendar (not used by anything else, depends on 
    dev-java/jgoodies-{common,looks} 
    which are no available "at no charge"[1]

Maintainer (sci-geosciences@gentoo.org) of sci-geosciences/bt747 seems not involved in the commit history.

A newer stable version BT747_2.2.1_en_full.zip is available upstream since 2019-05-12 but nobody cares.
