net-misc/connect-100 runs fine on Gentoo Prefix on Interix on amd64. I'd like for this to be keyworded to stable on prefix. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge net-misc/connect 2. 3. Actual Results: Package needs to be unmasked. Expected Results: Package need not be unmasked.
I stand corrected. I hacked the ebuild for net-misc/connect-100 on my local overlay to point to the most recent version. The current version in portage does not work on Interix/AMD64 due to missing headers for DNS. The current version on the author's site works on Interix/AMD64 (and on Win32/AMD64) after I hacked up the ebuild. I've tested this on two SUA 5.x hosts as well as one Linux host.
We have migrated away from x86-Interix (somewhat useful up to Windows Server 2008) towards x64-Cygwin (working on Windows Server 2008 and newer).
