Description John Stroy 2012-10-02 00:27:56 UTC

net-misc/connect-100 runs fine on Gentoo Prefix on Interix on amd64.  I'd like for this to be keyworded to stable on prefix.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge net-misc/connect
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Package needs to be unmasked.

Expected Results:  
Package need not be unmasked.

I stand corrected.  I hacked the ebuild for net-misc/connect-100 on my local overlay to point to the most recent version.  The current version in portage does not work on Interix/AMD64 due to missing headers for DNS.  The current version on the author's site works on Interix/AMD64 (and on Win32/AMD64) after I hacked up the ebuild.

I've tested this on two SUA 5.x hosts as well as one Linux host.

We have migrated away from x86-Interix (somewhat useful up to Windows Server 2008) towards x64-Cygwin (working on Windows Server 2008 and newer).
