Description Raymond Jennings 2016-09-20 16:57:59 UTC
needs a version bump I guess.

The latest (google-talkplugin-5.41.3.0) is already in the tree for a month.

I wanted to move away from a stable version for a long time:

Why do we want to leave google-talkplugin masked?

It's not exactly unbuildable or buggy.

I masked it, so that users of the stable version get notified of the change, which would not be the case if I just dropped the old versions, which is going to happen in 30 days or so.
Comment 5 Raymond Jennings 2016-09-21 02:12:33 UTC
Why not just stabilize it regularly like any other package?

Just look at bug #506676 and you will understand why.
Google can sneak away the package source at any time and we cannot mirror it, so I think it is not worth the effort.
