Description John Ratliff 2004-09-26 20:09:56 UTC

This is an ebuild for Never Again N@tscape, an NNTP news reader program.

Requires Java 1.4. I didn't know what to use for keywords, so I put in the ones I have tested it on. I have only tested in on x86 for gentoo, but it has been run on ppc and sparc (OS-X and Solaris) by myself, so I know it will work on those architectures.

I am somewhat new to writing ebuilds. Sorry if this script isn't 100% up to standards. I based it on the jedit ebuild in portage.

Forgot to mention. I think it should go into net-news.

The provided ebuild violates current Java policies.  You can read them at http://gentoo-wiki.com/Gentoo_Java_Policy .

(this is an automated message based on filtering criteria that matched this bug)
'EBUILD' is in the KEYWORDS which should mean that there is a ebuild attached to
this bug.
This bug is assigned to maintainer-wanted which means that it is not in the main
tree.

Hello, The Gentoo Team would like to firstly thank you for your ebuild
submission. We also apologize for not being able to accommodate you in a timely
manner. There are simply too many new packages.

Allow me to use this opportunity to introduce you to Gentoo Sunrise. The sunrise
overlay[1] is a overlay for Gentoo which we allow trusted users to commit to and
all users can have ebuilds reviewed by Gentoo devs for entry into the overlay.
So, the sunrise team is suggesting that you look into this and submit your
ebuild to the overlay where even *you* can commit to. =)

Because this is a mass message, we are also asking you to be patient with us. We
anticipate a large number of requests in a short time. 

Thanks,
On behalf of the Gentoo Sunrise Team,
Jeremy.

There are zillions of much up to date NNTP news readers out there. And this one is like... 12 years old (!). No, nan won't make it into Portage. Closing this bug.
