Seems that nothing in the tree needs this and it looks like nobody is going to take care of this and bump it, I would treeclean it
I will try to maintain the package; there seem to be just Metadata problems now. REXX is a nice scripting language, so I think it should stay in the Gentoo distro. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=592092
Yes, please, keep it. What the alternatives for a REXX interpreter under Gentoo? I understand REXX is not a language used that much in the UNIX environment, but there are people, like me, using ancient IBM proprietary OS, like VM/CMS or MVS, under the hercules. And, for such activities, a REXX linux interpreter is really useful. Just my 2 cents. G. Vitillaro.
do you have any fix for this bug?
I also use regina all the time (and I happen to know the original author personally) - I just emerged dev-lang/regina-rexx-3.9.1-r1::gentoo and that went well, without any warnings or anything.

This only affects the older 3.6 version. Since it is masked for a long time, I just went ahead and removed it (along with the stable keywords). I will leave further suggestions for proxied maintainers on bug #592092. commit 27b468288bbff5dbcec12c7786efdf4ef5b9bd3e Author: Michał Górny <mgorny@gentoo.org> AuthorDate: Mon Oct 31 17:09:18 2016 Commit: Michał Górny <mgorny@gentoo.org> CommitDate: Mon Oct 31 17:10:11 2016 dev-lang/regina-rexx: Remove buggy 3.6 version (stable, masked), #515944 dev-lang/regina-rexx/files/regina-rexx-3.6-gentoo.patch | 28 ---------------------------- dev-lang/regina-rexx/regina-rexx-3.6-r3.ebuild | 48 ------------------------------------------------ profiles/package.mask | 5 ----- 3 files changed, 81 deletions(-)
