Description Samuel Bauer 2010-12-22 13:05:07 UTC
Synergy+ and Synergy have now merged! However, we'll still be using the old synergy-plus source code repository and mailing lists.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:




It would be a great idea to merge the projects under the name x11-misc/synergy (cp x11-misc/synergy-plus/synergy-plus-1.3.4-ebuild x11-misc/synergy/synergy-1.3.4-ebuild), and advice the maintainer to work on x11-misc/synergy

There isn't any new version of either, and the current version is still called synergy-plus. Please reopen when there's something to do or when a bump is needed.

There is no new version but the fact to have two reference for the same project is a little bit ennoying for the end user.
As an example the ebuild quicksynergy from sunrise overlay have a reference only to synergy. The ebuild qsynergy (not in overlay) depends on ( || synergy synergy-plus ), as in fact, it is the same. A bit confusing.

So it should be a great idea to remove synergy from the portage tree and keep only snergy-plus. Even no new version doesn't mean, in my opinion, that there is nothing to do.
