Build log
nmh can use gdbm just as well as db-1. I noticed in the messages after 'emerge --sync' that nmh's considered to be removed. Not building on db-5 is not a good enough reason, imho, as it can work fine with gdbm. (n)mh has been around since the dawn of internet, and is _very_stable with a user community. Please don't drop it. Created attachment 240759 [details]
Patch to support sys-libs/db:5
The sys-libs/db version 5 needs a trivial define (which does not prevent sys-libs/db:4 from compiling either) in order to compile. Said patch is included herewithin. Ebuild will be attached in a subsequent post.
Consider sys-libs/db:5 is hard masked due to bugs, I'm not sure why it is causing nmh to be deprecated.
Created attachment 240761 [details] Ebuild to support attach Promised ebuild to include patch previously attached. Please note that this ebuild includes the fix (which I independently made but then reverted when I found the other attachment) for Bug 262150 and Bug 294762. nmh was removed from portage, therefore closing as wontfix for now. new ebuilds should go in bug 336057. |
