[gentoo-dev] Last rites for net-print/kink

+  21 Jun 2007; Wulf C. Krueger <philantrop@gentoo.org> package.mask:
+  Masked net-print/kink for removal wrt bug #176857.

net-print/kink is as dead as it gets - no changes in its CVS for more than 
3 years. Nothing depends on it and it won't compile anymore with the 
libinklevel versions currently in Portage.

If no one fixes the above bug, it's a goner in 30 days. :-)

Best regards, Wulf

Errrm....... this is a joke, right? It's a simple program that does a 
simple job. Why does it need updates? It compiles perfectly. Just 
emerged it without error.


Be lucky,
Neil

It's not. Please leave a comment on bug 176857 describing which version 
works for and add your emerge --info.

Best regards, Wulf

Thanks to Joerg Plate who provided a patch (which needs more testing as 
some usability problems have already been reported which are most likely 
not patch-related) I'm cancelling this. 

net-print/kink has been unmasked again and will stay for now.

Best regards, Wulf
