Descr: fails to build and is unused
The buildfailure is easy to fix (already identified to require groff-full), but the deletion crowd went chopping in the woods quicker than anything else.
Yeah, I stored the deleted files in the devel:libraries:c_c++ project and created a new package A_tw-fstrcmp in PMBS/Staging, which only builds for Tumbleweed and Slowroll.
You can just bring it back for openSUSE:Factory. If you set a maintainer on d:l:c/fstrcmp, you get reasonably-timed build failure reports and there is less of a chance someone swings the package axe.
I just requested maintainership for d:l:c/fstrcmp. Once I get access rights, I'll resurrect the stuff in PMBS again.
E-h-h ... if you get maintainership, what stops you from submitting it back to Factory? Why keep it external?
You got me wrong. Once I have maintainership, I'll re-create the package in d:l:c and submit it again to openSUSE:Factory. When that is done, I'll re-create the situation in PMBS as it was before. Right now, it's just a stop gap solution so new users will be able to install kodi on TW at all. Cheers. l8er manfred
