Description Pierre 2009-10-12 23:26:23 UTC

Would it be possible to add keywords for this ?

It's a bit old, but as 1.22.5 is too recent to be stabilized now...

Pierre: Please don't CC *anyone* when you cannot assign bugs.

Also, explain what keywords you want. Arch teams generally do not like to get bugged with keywording requests just because it's possible, so the general tendency is to argue that *you* use the package on unkeyworded arch XYZ and since it works, you request its keywording.

Freewrl-1.19.1 will not even compile in most cases, and the tree no longer has many of the required dependencies available; in fact that ebuild version should probably be removed.

If any freewrl package should be keyworded stable, it should be version 1.22.5.  As far as I've been able to determine there are no bugs in the packaging for either stable or ~arch; although there are some bugs in the software itself they are upstream-related and upstream is working on them.
