So first you say you was not aware of the discussion, now you say you just didn't feel the need to reply. I did see that you commited copied version of older one, given the fancy amount of people just doing cp a b for version bumps and not bothering by any bugs I just went ahead and looked what other guys does and made it same. I would commit the update even if it would be libva-0.0.1 I didn't do it for sake of the version. > > Seeing that I bumped it ~1 week ago, did you really expect that it was an > abandonned package and that you were saving it ?

Just consider I tried to piss you off if you have this attitude. I could not care less about some libva if i would not be looking on that bug for some time without any damn reply from maintainer and x11 in CC. I usually ask on irc, but given the fact you don't bother with the media... just remove x11 from herds and enjoy your package. You might also consider dropping x11 from x11-libs/vdpau-video Cheerios -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk13fQ4ACgkQHB6c3gNBRYe7uQCfYDna/Scn7UHhic5V6shuk70p PvUAn2ijeJeu0qdwyvT3avR48k1tXJ/m =xp8D -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
