[gentoo-dev] www-client/amaya needs new maintainer

2006-04-22 Thread Thierry Carrez
www-client/amaya is without an active maintainer and has an open security bug : https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129874 It needs a bump to 9.5, and it also needs a maintainer/herd. If nobody steps in to fix it, package will have to be masked then removed from portage. -- Thierry Carrez

Hi, at the moment, /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.2/rp-pppoe.so is installed by net-dialup/ppp - nothing special - well, it's not a very recent version. In the syslog it says: RP-PPPoE plugin version 3.3 compiled against pppd 2.4.2 On the other hand, i've got net-dialup/rp-pppoe-3.8 installed and it
