Comment 1 Manuel Hiebel 2013-12-12 00:11:13 CET

looks like this package is very old, I can't event found sources :/

Source RPM: (none) => mtink

Comment 2 Samuel Verschelde 2015-04-25 10:27:24 CEST

Hi, thanks for reporting this bug. Can you confirm it's still valid in Mageia 4 and Mageia 5RC (due in a few days)?

As there is no dedicated maintainer for this package I added people who touched it in the past in CC.

(Please set the status to 'assigned' if you are working on it)

mtink-1.0.16 is the last version I can find, it was released on 29-08-2007

http://xwtools.automatix.de/files/mtink-1.0.16.tar.gz

It is probably better to obsolete it.

No, all distros have mtink. Needs to merge with Debian, Rosa (Revision: b4dc9b4: Use systemd-tmpfiles instead of shipping /var/run files).

You touched the package after you wrote this..... did you do this, too?

Oops, sorry, I read 2015 where the changelog said 2014 :-(

Assigning to all packagers collectively, since there is no maintainer for this package.
