CentOS6/7 don't resolve that issue for you?
So far you're one user, but that's enough to warrant a news item. I would really like to get the old stuff out of the tree, it's been around a very long time, has security issues, and the 2.3 ebuilds don't comply with newer EAPIs and QA practices (I suspect that probably won't even compile with newer berkdb and gnutls). -- Robin Hugh Johnson Gentoo Linux: Developer, Infrastructure Lead E-Mail : robb...@gentoo.org GnuPG FP : 11ACBA4F 4778E3F6 E4EDF38E B27B944E 34884E85
