This package is massively b0rk, it doesn't even download the merlin source tarball from merlin.org/sawfish so I'm going to mark it -* until someone who cares and uses sawfish fixes it to just install the merlin extensions over sawfish OR to work installing a whole sawfish patched with the more risky patches from merlin.

Later.

this should probably go, i have a feeling it is completely unmaintained (it was last time i looked at it, long ago).
Comment 6 foser (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-07-27 11:54:41 UTC
anyone against removing this package ?
Comment 7 Spider (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-07-27 12:04:41 UTC
nope
Comment 8 aethyr 2003-08-02 21:15:40 UTC
Just wondering what the consensus is on this.  If the package has been broken for a year, and it's unmaintained, then we might want to drop it.

Just nudging this bug along towards resolution.
