The recipes at hand are:
binutils: I don't feel like touching that one.
cups: there is someone bitching about that this is 1.2, but he
apparently prefers bitching upon resolving the issue. Probably the
best solution is to drop the DP = -1 from the 1.4.4 recipe
libsdl-x11: not really sure what it does or who maintains it (actually
somewhat surprised that it is used in console-image)
python-sqlite3: also not really sure who maintains it.

And yes, I could try to fix these myself. I used to work on everything
and tried to fix things that were left dangling, but some people in
the community are so unforgiving and negative if you make a mistake
(which can happen if you work on something new to you), so I basically
gave up doing that.
(and yes, I know if it is something you're not familiar with a patch
can be posted to the list, but unfortunately lots of times patches
(especially for areas that are less mainstream) the response on posted
patches is nil).

I am just reporting this as result of the weekly testing effort and I
have no direct interest in these recipes.

Have a nice weekend!
Frans.
