Bug 913737 – sys-apps/exa: unmaintained upstream, replace with sys-apps/eza

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Jan Breig 2023-09-06 20:30:07 UTC]

Upstream flagged exa as unmaintained (no release in 2 years). There is a community fork called `eza` that continues the project.

I suggest to replace exa with eza.

Upstream issue: https://github.com/ogham/exa/issues/1243
Eza project: https://github.com/eza-community/eza

Most importantly, eza will contain the Gentoo icon I added to exa which never got into a release.

[Comment 2 Jan Breig 2023-09-07 11:12:40 UTC]

Created attachment 870030 [details]
eza-0.11.0.ebuild

Ebuild for eza, mostly copied from exa.
