Hi,

Can we remove app-text/aiksaurus?

* maintainer needed
* EAPI 2
* last release was 2005
Comment 1 Jonas Stein gentoo-dev 2018-03-24 14:19:06 UTC
it is still shipped in many Linux distributions
https://repology.org/metapackage/aiksaurus/versions

have the other distributions patches, or better sources, which we do not have?
Comment 2 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2018-03-30 11:46:17 UTC
it is also still needed by abiword, that is the reason other distributions are still shipping it
