Bug 214987 – games-fps/doomsday-0.9.0-beta5 should be added to portage again, because beta-5.2 was pulled

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Wiebe Cazemier 2008-03-26 22:36:01 UTC]

Doomsday version 0.9.0-beta5.2 should be removed from portage, and beta-5 be put back in, because beta 5.2 was pulled. This is the news item from doomsdayhq.org:

=======
Due to completely non-functional player control, the Doomsday 1.9.0-beta5.2 release has been pulled as it is unusable. 
 
The security fixes implemented for this release have been merged into the trunk (and the aforementioned issues addressed) and will be present in the upcoming 1.9.0-beta6 release.
=======

I know beta5 contains vulnerability leaks, so it probably should be hard masked.

Reproducible: Always

If I may be so bold as to reopen this bug; bug #212224 only mentions that it is unusable, and it was resolved as WONTFIX in anticipation of the next release. But the next release may be a while. I was told by a developer of doomsday it would have appeared around last christmas, but it obviously hasn't. They're having some developer issues, and it could be a while until beta6 is out. They fixed the issue by pulling back beta 5.2, and expect users to install beta 5 again. Therefore, portage should contain beta 5. Otherwise it could be months before portage contains a usable version of Doomsday.

This thing is vulnerable, broken and masked. If you want old and even more vulnerable stuff, grab it from viewcvs...
