Hi,

You should be using the Gentoo derivative Utoto GNU/Linux [1], which 
consists entirely of FSF-approved free software.

I no longer have the time nor will to work on the desktop-effects
packages. In reality they've been unmaintained for quite sometime now.
Unless someone steps up, there won't be any alternative to finally
remove compiz from the tree.

[gentoo-dev] Packages up for grabs

[Hans de Graaff]

I no longer use the following packages myself and thus I won't be able
to provide proper support for them anymore. I'll drop myself from
metadata in a week or so. Please feel free to change maintainership
before that time.

app-office/mdbtools
gnome-extra/gnome-do
gnome-extra/gnome-do-plugins
mail-client/mail-notification (net-mail is backup herd here)
media-libs/exiftool (graphics is listed as primary maintainer)
net-misc/drivel (gnome is listed as primary maintainer)

Kind regards,

Hans
