Description Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-10-28 22:14:16 UTC
x11-libs/fox-1.0.49 (current stable) is not modular X ready. 1.0.53 is ported, bug unsupported upstream (see Bug 145046 Comment #18 and following) and is not worth the stabilization hassle. So, I'd suggest removing fox-1.0.* and the couple of ebuilds that depend on it:

dev-python/fxpy-1.0.5
dev-python/fxpy-1.0.5-r1
dev-ruby/fxruby-1.0.25
dev-ruby/fxruby-1.0.29-r1

dev-python/fxpy should be removed completely, 1.0.5 states >=x11-libs/fox-1.0.17 but it plain won't compile w/ >=1.2 (the deps were fixed in -r1). Nothing depends on this package, no upstream update since 2003.

dev-ruby/fxruby-1.2.2 is already stable, so 1.0.x is not needed any more anyway.

Looks like mabi picked up fox stuff recently, re-assigning.

dev-ruby/fxruby-1.0* are gone.

Another two, that needs to get the axe are
=x11-misc/pathfinder-1.0.53 and
=app-editors/adie-1.0.53 depending on fox-1.0.53

Well, there apparently may be others, because those two above specify dependencies in a broken ("ranged") way, so won't ever get caught by pquery (nor do those dependencies work as expected). Sigh.

dev-util/reswrap-1.0.4 needs to die as well...

@python - can you please mask/kill dev-python/fxpy?
Comment 8 Bryan Østergaard (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-12-10 12:14:12 UTC
dev-python/fxpy killed.
