Why don't you bump to the last version of gnubiff ? Especially as it fixes a critical bug ( characters encoding for menus ) for non-english users ( from 2.1.2 to 2.1.4 it wasn't usable at all ) It works with the 2.1.3 ebuild Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
What does it take you so long to jump ?
2.1.9 version bump Don't forget that 2.1.3 is broken for non-english users !
2.1.9 is in portage now, thanks
