Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2012-11-22 15:39:57 UTC
Binary-only package. "lmutil-amd64 --help" says:
lmutil-amd64 - Copyright (c) 1989-2004 by Macrovision Corporation. All rights reserved.

enduser.pdf says that redistribution is not allowed:
© 2003-2004 Macrovision Corporation. All rights reserved. Macrovision products contain certain confidential information of Macrovision Corporation. Use of this copyright notice is precautionary and does not imply publication or disclosure. No part of this publication may be reproduced, transmitted, transcribed, stored in a retrieval system, or translated into any language in any form by any means without the written permission of Macrovision Corporation.

So "as-is" in LICENSE is certainly wrong, and RESTRICT="bindist mirror" is needed. Distfiles must be removed from our mirrors.

Furthermore:
- HOMEPAGE and SRC_URI are dead.
- No reverse dependencies.
- No Gentoo maintainer.

Treecleaners, your opinion please.

Upstream does not support it(EOL), as i know. But it is valuable, and there are no open bugs about it(except this one), so my personal opinion - fix license issue and leave it in tree.

No problem with keeping it if this are the only problems. Feel free to commit the fixes you want also

Problem is that RESTRICT="mirror" is needed, but isn't possible without a working SRC_URI.

CCing trustees.
