Subject: [gentoo-dev] Idea for a new project: gentoo-libs
Date: Fri, 22 Jun 2018 21:50:50 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180623025046.djmsv44moxuqkv6t@proprietary-killer> (raw)
So, as you may be aware I've been doing some work on moving bzip2 to an
autotools based build. Recently I've ran into app-crypt/mhash, which is
in a semi-abandoned state (talking with the maintainer on twitter atm),
and I was thinking it may be a good idea to set up a project for keeping
these semi-abandoned and really-abandoned libraries and projects up to
date and such.
Basically, an upstream for packages who's upstream is either
uncontactable or is otherwise not accepting bug fixes and patches. So
far I can only think of app-crypt/mhash and app-arch/bzip2 but I'm sure
there are others in this state.
