Here are the changes I had to make in my local tree for this bug.
Comment 2 Fabian Groffen gentoo-dev 2005-11-12 12:44:50 UTC
adding ppc-macos to check the patch.  ppc-macos keyword is dropped in the patch.

ppc-macos changes

applying the above patch to the lynx-2.8.6_pre15.ebuild file, cleans up the
darwin/osx mess.  This new version seems to compile and work fine for ppc-macos
without additional tweaks.   I tested, and hence added back the ~ppc-macos
keyword.
Comment 4 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-11-12 17:46:26 UTC
arch teams -- please test lynx-2.8.5-r2 and mark stable
Comment 5 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-11-12 17:47:10 UTC
Fabian -- please make sure ppc-macos is ok with 2.8.5-r2 as well
Comment 6 solar (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-11-12 18:23:29 UTC
silly seemant you asked for arch testing but forgot to ~arch the keywords. 
I reverted those for you and the arches right quick. I also tested on x86 and it 
looks pretty good so I left it in stable.
Comment 7 Brent Baude (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-11-12 18:45:35 UTC
ppc64 stable
Comment 8 Jason Wever (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-11-12 18:49:24 UTC
Stable on SPARC
Comment 9 Homer Parker (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-11-12 19:13:30 UTC

At your service!

marked 2.8.5-r2 stable and made darwin patch unconditional (getting rid of the
conditional in the ebuild)

Comment 11 Fernando J. Pereda (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-11-13 03:47:40 UTC
Alpha happy

GLSA 200511-09
arm, ia64, mips, s390 should mark stable to benefit from GLSA
Comment 14 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-11-15 11:40:45 UTC
ia64 and mips, please do mark stable
Comment 15 Hardave Riar (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-11-20 01:42:18 UTC
Stable on mips.
