Why was a valid package removed for an errant comment in the ebuild?
It's not dead upstream, and someone (me) took the time to actually look
at it and note that the issue was at least mostly addressed, except for
the comment.
Hi.
Most importantly, the package had no maintainer to help it along. So, we
could leave it masked indefinitely (because no dev cared enough to
improve the ebuild). Or, we could remove it. Cruft in the tree is not ok
because it helps no one. =/ The package was masked since March, which
gives more than enough time for another dev to pick it up but since no
one did, it was treecleaned.
Feel free to write an ebuild for the pending version bump to 2.7.1 and
then maybe one of the proxy maintainers will help you out for
gentoo-x86. Also, there is the sunrise project where you can maintain it
yourself: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/sunrise/
Then again, what's one more in my overlay of 54 packages, most of which
have had valid fixes posted for months, if not years?
Shortage of man power will do this, especially for maintainer-needed
packages. It was not my intent to personally offend you regarding this
package.
