[GRASS-dev] freetype on gentoo

[Māris Nartišs]

Hi,

currently GRASS on Gentoo is almost unmaintained. First GRASS ebuild for 
5.7/6.0 was made by me. Now ebuilds are submitted by community trough 
bugzilla system, but current maintainer (nerdboy) is not very intrested in 
GIS (and doesn't know OS GIS related problems) and strictly follows Gentoo 
guidelines - I had problems with getting simple GRASS related fixes to ebuild 
accepted. :( 
I don't think that there will somebody push opendwg ebuild and related grass 
flag.

What is more important for me - currently emerging GRASS can fail, but user 
will get no notification about this using current ebuild. See more:

compilation errors" 

Maris.
