Please let us know of authoritative sources that can be used in SRC_URI.
Comment 2 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2015-02-15 08:41:51 UTC
i've been talking to upstream.  he's working on it.
Comment 3 Wim Muskee 2016-12-03 09:19:55 UTC
I believe this one can be closed.

1.6 not an ebuild anymore, and current HOMEPAGE and SRC_URI are different from the one in the report

That's fine with me.

Thanks.

As a reporter, can't you change the status to "Resolved"?
Comment 6 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2016-12-07 07:25:09 UTC
the HOMEPAGE is still down.  upstream wasn't able to complete a migration anywhere.  there is no replacement at this time.
Comment 7 Manfred Knick 2017-06-17 14:06:45 UTC
Applies still the same for 

. . . sys-apps/man-1.6g-r1:0 .

Question @ SECURITY:

If neither HOMEPAGE nor SRC_URI are available:
What is contained in

. . .  /usr/portage/sys-apps/man/Manifest

and what is it based upon?
Comment 8 Jack 2019-01-16 01:26:54 UTC
Results in original post still the same.  Also, I just noticed on lists.gentoo.dev:

# Mike Gilbert <floppym@gentoo.org (07 Jan 2019)
# Inactive upstream for many years.
# Several open bugs.
# Please migrate to sys-apps/man-db. sys-apps/man

The package is not masked - have I just not synced recently enough?
Comment 9 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2019-01-16 02:09:02 UTC
(In reply to Jack from comment #8)

The mask was reverted due to bug 674834. It will be masked again as soon as amd64-fbsd can keyword man-db.
