Bug 282388 – net-misc/rdist removal request (was missing inherit causes package to be stabled without patching net-misc/rdist)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

I cannot believe this package was marked stable. It needs something like this:

Yes, I could commit that myself...But, I ask myself, "Why?"

QA Team, please remove this package since it has no maintainer or repoman --force this fix. I don't want to be involved, tbh.

repoman --force a revbump that is.

A month without comment. Treecleaners will remove this cruft.

# Jeremy Olexa <[e-mail]> (5 Oct 2009)
# QA standards are seriously missing on this package. It was marked stable
# without applying a patch, even. No maintainer, remove in 60 days. bug 282388
