This is a last rites package coming from who was known as the package undertaker (before antarus took my place, that is :P)...
media-sound/fobbit is suffering from lack of maintainership, the description states that's a software to use Creative VoiceBlaster USB VoIP phone devices, so at a least it requires particular hardware to be used. The code contains a kernel module, built in an ancient way, and for what I can see it's not for Kernel 2.6, but rather for 2.2/2.4, which makes it difficult to manage anyway. The short changelog shows that the only gentoo developer actually taking care of it was jje (that I don't remember to have heard of) in 2003, and then eradicator marked it stable. After that, just other two entries from him, and one from me for a generic policy update.. Anyway, will mask it, and remove it in 30 days if nobody has reasons to leave it in the tree. -- Diego "Flameeyes" Pettenò - http://farragut.flameeyes.is-a-geek.org/ Gentoo/Alt lead, Gentoo/FreeBSD, Video, Sound, ALSA, PAM, KDE, CJK, Ruby ...
