[gentoo-dev] Package up for grabs: x11-misc/synergy

[Michał Górny]

Hi,

The following package is in need of a new maintainer:

  x11-misc/synergy

It is currently two versions behind.  It's been "enterprise quality" for
quite some time, and I don't have the patience to keep packaging it. 
The newest releases feature a dependency on pugixml bundled as git
submodule (which obviously doesn't work on top of GH archive).  I've
submitted a patch to support bundled against system library [1] back
in November but upstream never bothered replying.

Note that we have x11-misc/barrier, which is an fork of Synergy. It is 
actively developed, as far as I can tell, and works for me very well.

Oh, nice.  If I ever have to use it again, I'll be sure to give it
a try.  That is, if I don't forget about it.
