Description Michał Górny archtester

This package still uses the legacy eclass code paths.  These paths are deprecated and pose a significant maintenance cost.  Please update the package to use PEP517 build mode.  For more information, please see the Python Guide, particularly; https://projects.gentoo.org/python/guide/migration.html#migrating-to-pep-517-builds

[Adding this comment en-masse, sorry for the noise, but it's important.)

1. Please take particular care to check file diffs before/after, possibly using `iwdevtools`. Keep a particular eye out for e.g. config files now missing from /etc and instead being in /usr/lib/python*/site-packages, etc.

2. Please make sure to do the migration in a new revision in ~arch, partly because of 1.

    app-text/xapers: add 0.9.2, use PEP517
    
    * Remove old maintainer as they are unresponsive
    * New upstream site
    * PEP517 ebuild
    
    Skipping 0.9.1 as the install script missed submodules and was hence
    unusable
