I have tried to understand what is in these files but have not managed
it completely.
The file py-IDX lists 2 of my ports, devel/slglade and
x11-toolkits/gtkdatabox as being fixed:
fix devel/slglade
fix x11-toolkits/gtkdatabox
Could you elaborate more what was 'fixed' in these 2 examples?
Thanks,
Alexey.
