Description Jack Miller 2015-04-29 19:34:06 UTC
The portage versions of canto-curses and canto-daemon are years out of date, unsupported and vulnerable (see #533654). I understand there is a lack of interest in maintaining these packages, but they really either need to be updated or removed completely.

I emailed the devs on the Changelog for canto-curses, who suggested that I file an official bug.

Reproducible: Always

Assigning to maintainer (and also CC treecleaners for the case they are not bumped to ensure the vulnerable versions are not kept)
