Bug 156425 – sci-misc/oww-0.81.9 version bump for gtk2

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description James Cloos 2006-11-27 09:52:30 UTC]

The current version (0.81.9) of sci-misc/oww is gtk2, plus it also supports a text-only client.

It should be BUMPed rather than removed.

Hi James,

Yeah, we could definitely bump oww to 0.81.9 and then remove the 0.7 version.
Unfortunately, it looks like gnome-base/libghttp which is one of the deps 
is going away as well. Oww builds fine without it "but will then not support Wunderground-style", according to the docs.
Is this a problem from your point of view? 

Thanks,
Markus

They switched from libghttp to libcurl, per the Changelog and a quick test compile, so that will not be an issue.

Yep, just saw that myself, thanks!
Anyway, I just bumped oww to 0.81.9 which is gtk1 free
in portage cvs.

@compnerd: Could we please change the package.mask from
sci-misc/oww to =sci-misc/oww-0.71.1 to allow people to emerge
the new version and to avoid it being removed accidentally.

Thanks,
Markus

Thanks to compnerd, oww-0.81.9 has been removed from package.mask 
and should be ready to go.

Closing this bug ...

Thanks,
Markus
