Description Kristoffer Grundström 2022-03-31 22:33:43 CEST 
Description of problem: I'm trying to port the torrent client for GNOME called fragments and one of its dependencies are libb64-devel. I therefor took the liberty of packaging libb64 and its derivates for someone to push to Cauldron.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.2.1

Comment 3 sturmvogel 2022-04-01 08:39:23 CEST 
libb64 had its last release in 2013. Is there really a need to import a rotten dead project into Mageia?

No harm meant for asking, but how are we supposed to build Fragments without it?

I can try building it and see though.

I agree with comment 3.

Kristoffer, you are always trying to add things to your Mageia systems which are off limits. From your comment 0, you have done all the private work to do what you want with 'fragments', you will doubtless crack the 'libb64' problem. Both being imported software.
