Description Justin Lecher (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

The package doesn't build, only supports gcc-3* and has severe QA problem including calling export and strip/filter-flags in global scope.

Please clean it. Maintainer already agreed.

Maintainer here:
Yes, the ebuild is ancient. And, while the QA issues could be fixed, the real issue is that upstream pretty much abandoned the package. Thre was pretty much just one active developer (upstream), as of many years ago, and I don't remember seeing more than a handful of messages per year on the list, mostly related to how to build that ancient code under cygwin and such.. Heck, they did not even manage the transition to gcc-4. So yes, I approve the pull.

A bit of a shame - this was a decent implementation of Pascal language. But then, realisticallym there are not that many (if any) active users left..
