In my opinion such prohibition will kill gentoo portage as there were no new apps and dev's will be sitting with old toys like in a closed room without windows and doors. If some package is unmaintained it's surely because users and devs forgotten it, upstream is dead and noone cares if its actual or not. - -- Paweł Madej aka Nysander http://quanteam.info | http://forum-farmaceutyczne.org http://nysander.quanteam.info | http://wiki.quanteam.info GPG key: 5861680B | keyserver: http://pgp.mit.edu key fingerprint: 34A9 B8BB DFA2 4F0B EFB5 CE50 82F4 8C82 5861 680B -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDwR87gvSMglhhaAsRAleVAKCr7yxxDUUMExfL+r5QGoC5cIaD7gCglvp1 tAjLoNf2k9WqB+D1fSnz7VQ= =1F6t -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
