Description Peter Alfredsen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-06-09 01:35:05 UTC
per bug 87285, media-libs/libswf causes php to stop functioning if it is installed simulataneously with media-libs/mind-0.3.0. Once packages may have depended on libswf, but no more. Please mask libswf for removal and as you do so, remove the mask on media-libs/ming-0.3.0*, since autotrace and other libraries need it.
Chtekk is cced cause he was the one to package.mask ming.

I'm not sure this package fits into the criteria for removal by treecleaners.

-This package installs fine on x86 system. -1
-Dead upstream, no updates since 1999 +/- 0
-No Maintainer +/- 0
-No open Gentoo bugs. -1

My vote is to not remove and, instead, if there is a conflict with ming, place a block in ming's dependencies. And/or a likewise block with ming in libswf's deps.

Other input?

Since ming is not maintainer-needed, this is something for the ming maintainers to do, not treecleaners.

Thanks.
