Description Evgeny Stambulchik 2006-11-15 02:56:24 UTC
... has been there for more than two years.
Comment 1 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-11-15 03:07:08 UTC
No, thanks. Nothing depends on x11-libs/openmotif-2.1* and it should just die.

Comment 2 Evgeny Stambulchik 2006-11-15 03:27:11 UTC
I disagree. Motif-2.1 API is the most widely deployed and stable Motif API (covered by the commercial Motif, OpenMotif, and LessTif). Not to mention 2.2 is a disaster in many respects (http://www.motifdeveloper.com/tips/tip22.html). In 2.3, many of the 2.2 shortcomings are being taken care of, but it's still beta (and, BTW, there are no 2.3 ebuilds either, even for tilde archs).
Comment 3 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-11-15 03:29:09 UTC
Err, quite frankly the whole thing is a disaster. :P 

Anyway, no maintainer in Gentoo and we are not keen on bumping outdated stuff that has no dependencies. Sorry.
