Created attachment 256694 [details] Revived ebuild. current version in the wtk overlay: http://www.physics.drexel.edu/~wking/unfolding-disasters/posts/Gentoo_overlay/ It was removed because of security bug #123053. (In reply to comment #2) > It was removed because of security bug #123053. A few points about bug #123053 and the removal of comedilib: 1) Bug #123053 was marked "RESOLVED FIXED". Does removing a buggy package really count as fixing the bugs? Perhaps it was marked as fixed because the attached ebuild fixed the bug, even though that ebuild was never merged into the Portage tree. 2) Bug #123053's comment #12 points out that comedilib was removed because the comedi package was removed. However, with comedi now also available as a staging driver, the dependency on an externally bundled comedi driver is no longer relevant. 3) The CVS commit message removing comedilib is "Remove comedilib as I can't maintain it anymore" [1]. Anyhow, the new ebuild (in my overlay) does not suffer from insecure RUNPATHs or any other detected QA issues.
