Bug 102708 – Please deprecate app-arch/undms 1.3

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Heikki Orsila 2005-08-16 06:07:57 UTC]

undms-1.3 is a package that is not maintained anymore and that has no
distribution terms (no license). undms does the same as app-arch/xdms, but xdms
is still maintained (by me) and has a clear license (public domain). Also, xdms
has been certified to work on amd64, where as undms is not. I ask you to
deprecate undms, and remove it after a while. There shouldn't be any need for
that program, especially since license terms are very unclear.

It seems debian packagers couldn't reach the author of undms:

undms will not emerge as is anyway.  It needs app-arch/ncompress or something
else that provides uncompress in DEPEND.

treecleaners, mask this please. Maintainer has been MIA for ages.

Grobian I want to fix this but I need ncompress keyworded on ppc-macos.  If you can get back to me about keywording ncompress otherwise I'll just drop the keyword and commit it.

Thanks.

according to Jakub, you guys aren't keywording on the main tree anymore, so I dropped the keyword, if you want to keyword ncompress to get it back, its' you ballgame (as they say).

Hmmm.... they say so much.

Added ncompress and undms in prefix.
