You know, you can email me directly (or even better: the arch alias)
if you want a quick response, no need to go through -dev ;)

I don't think I was slow on answering on bug #455960 : I didn't
understand what was needed and from the quick checks I made back then
everything was fine. It took you one month to open bug #460532 and now
you come with threats because you had no answer for 2 months, please ;)


Had you emailed me, I would have answered:

I don't have time to do amd64-fbsd work atm, it'll be better in June.
Meanwhile, there is profiles/arch/amd64-fbsd/todo/package.use.mask for
these cases (see comments at the top of the file).

For this precise case, you can either wait for me to do it properly, or,
which is bad but, what I've just done to save all the tears: keyword
nepomuk-widgets (it is split out of nepomuk IIUC so should be fine as a
"version bump"). As for taglib, it doesn't build IIRC, so you can add
the relevant entry to the above mentioned package.use.mask file when
needed.


If you want to avoid this in the future, please don't commit packages
with broken deps :)

Alexis.
