Description Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2017-06-21 18:57:19 UTC
It seems that this package has a very old stable version and a horrible number of bugs reported. I would like to request that you either:

a. stabilize 17.4 (the newest version) that has only one failure reported (broken USE=oss most likely),

b. drop the package altogether to ~arch.

It has no reverse dependencies, and consider that all the recent bugs were caught by tinderbox, I would seriously doubt it has many users either.
