[gentoo-dev] masking and removing *coin packages
Hi everyone, I emailed the list some time ago about giving away a bunch of bitcoin forks to see if anyone was interested in taking them. I didn't get any feedback so as of tomorrow I'll be masking the following for removal in 30 days. net-dns/namecoind net-dns/namecoin-qt net-p2p/bitcoinxtd net-p2p/bitcoinxt-qt net-p2p/litecoind net-p2p/litecoin-qt net-p2p/ppcoind net-p2p/ppcoin-qt net-p2p/primecoind net-p2p/primecoin-qt -- Anthony G.

That's the part that requires the JS. > I've seen some packages provide a "pre-built" javascript bundle, which is great because then you don't need a bunch of nodejs modules just to minify some javascript and whatnot. Alternatively, you could have a pre-made tarball of nodejs modules that's downloaded via SRC_URI and used only at build time.

[gentoo-dev] Remove FCDSL_CARDS and FRITZCAPI_CARDS from USE_EXPAND
USE_EXPAND in base/make.defaults and embedded/make.defaults lists the FCDSL_CARDS and FRITZCAPI_CARDS variables, which appear to be unused. Unless there are objections, I am going to remove both in two days from now. Ulrich pgpM4fLQeGLtx.pgp Description: PGP signature

I can understand being busy, but by checking https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=461212 it seems it's a long-term issue. Joost, please try to contact the proxy maintainers team and open a pull-request on github for the bump, that may be a way. Good luck.
