Thank you. > -end quote--- Sid Steward is the "maintainer" of the original Java/C++ version of pdftk that lives at https://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-the-pdf-toolkit/. The last change was almost 5 years ago, so I think it's safe to assume it's been abandoned. What needs maintaining for the new ebuild is 1) The new java-only upstream version of pdftk that lives at https://gitlab.com/marcvinyals/pdftk/ 2) The ebuild itself -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwardsYow!

Instead of removing pdftk from the portage tree because it depends on gcc-5.4 [gcj], is there any reason it can't be replace by the one which uses a jvm instead? -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwardsYow!
