In check ing for updates today, I found the following: - mail-client/nmh-1.3-r1 (masked by: package.mask) /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask: # Diego E. Pettenò <flamee...@gentoo.org> (24 Jun 2010) # on behalf of QA team # # Fails to build with Berkeley DB 5.0 (#319937); current # stable fails to build with current stable glibc (bug # #320645), last activity in both ebuild and upstream in 2008 # (and even then it wasn't from maintainers); uses $EDITOR # and $PAGER at build-time (bug #294762, and slightly related # bug #262150. One configure test becomes interactive if # app-editors/elvis is installed (bug #323541). Multiple # collisions. # # Feel free to pick this up and maintain it properly, but # unless a new maintainer can be found, this package is # slated for removal. # # Removal on 2010-08-23 This is what I use for my mail reader -- with the emacs interface -- so I am wondering what I can do once this happens -- I imagine I can keep it installed, but it would not be a good situation.
thanks in advance for any ideas. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it? John Covici cov...@ccs.covici.com
