Description Andreas Nyback 2011-01-10 10:50:39 UTC

webapp-config is dead.
webapp-config is a core gentoo web application, most web applications in portage uses webapp-config to maintain installations.

Number of bugs are growing since years back:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=specific&order=relevance+desc&bug_status=__open__&product=&content=webapp-config

How should gentoo handle web applications? should webapp-config be killed? What is there to replace it? Does it need to be replaced?

Many gentoo users have installations depending on webapp-config for maintaining their installations. Something that gets more and more troublesome the more the list of unfixed bugs grows.

Reproducible: Always

That's something for the mailing lists.
