• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

Secteam says they are not affected. Wes says upstream says they are defunct.

Half of them is maintained by java, half unmaintained. Can we lastrite them? If so, I'll do 14-day last rites as they are masked since Feb.

Go for it. How about these though?

app-admin/389-console
dev-libs/389-adminutil

They're not masked and may not be defunct upstream but the packages are outdated. If the maintainers aren't interested then please put them on the pile. Wes, William, please speak up.

app-admin/389-console is maintained by [e-mail]
Asking William about the others again just to confirm, I'll update when he responds

Sorry, what I meant was do you guys want to pick these up?

[Comment 4 Wes 2016-07-24 13:05:47 UTC]

Ah right, I'll check with upstream.  I believe William is offline for the night but will get back to you tomorrow.

Hi,

We are not interested in maintaining the ports:

> app-admin/389-console
> dev-libs/389-adminutil

Please consider them for removal with their current responsible port maintainers within the gentoo project.

Thanks,
