[gentoo-dev] Suggestion: remove app-office/borg from portage.

2008-08-16 Thread Aniruddha
Hi, Borg hasn't been updated in portage for a while despite the fact that new versions were released over a year ago (see http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=184699 ). Therefor I suggest app-office/borg gets removed from portage. Regards, Aniruddha
