Bug 95044 – unace 2.2 binary ebuild

• Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 84370
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Christoph Gysin 2005-06-04 11:17:11 UTC]

Currently there's only an ebuild for unace 1.2b in portage, which is unable to
extract v2 archives.

Winace offers a free version of unace-2.2 for linux in binary form.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

Actually i *did* search. The problem is that #84370 is RESOLVED FIXED and didn't
show up in the search window.

This doesn't seems correct to me. The title of bug #84370 is "new version of
unace that extracts archives that can't be extracted by current version in
portage", which isn't FIXED (more like RESOLVED WONTFIX). I'm still unable to
extract unace v2 archives.

Is it possible to add unace-bin-2.2 hard-masked with a post-intstall warning, so
that I *do* have the choice to emerge it from portage?

If not, please reopen #84370 so I can follow it until it really is resolved,
e.g. I'm able to extract unace v2 from portage.

Thanks

Please, read the comments in that bug. It won´t be in portage b/c it is broken
like hell security-wise (Bug 81958). Period. 

Post to Bug 84370 if upstream ever releases a fixed version.
