That is big false, we can fix it for one time but when it is broken for long period and we fix it there is 99 certainity that package will end up on QA list again because noone else would care about it, so if noone maintains it and it is broken for a quite while its preffered to remove it and maybe readd it back when someone again became interested in it
Also we are all volunteers and you are acting like you feel we don't provide what you want. In that case easiest solution is to stop whining and join some gentoo project to help up with maintaining stuff. We have dozens of weak areas so it is quite possible some of them might attract you. If you feel like you don't have time for doing so, we don't have it neither we are already maintaining quite lot stuff ourselves and trying to make whole tree compilable is addition to it. - -------- Tomáš Chvátal Gentoo Linux Developer [KDE/Overlays/QA/X11] E-Mail : scarab...@gentoo.org GnuPG FP : 94A4 5CCD 85D3 DE24 FE99 F924 1C1E 9CDE 0341 4587 GnuPG ID : 03414587 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.13 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAks33U0ACgkQHB6c3gNBRYdwFwCgyzAJYCSIcR6u1z2p3dNOA4WG v3AAni2AZW9swVRpMVJAknQo+cF2/rDn =XkWy -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
