> sys-apps/v86d Base-system or the kernel team should probably handle this, since it's required for the uvesafb driver in the kernel. Though I haven't figured out how it works yet. > net-misc/ipx-utils I'll see about playing with this some more. I have several installs of NetWare (3.2, 4.2, 6.5) in VMs, and dabble w/ IPX at random. Bug #420053 is from a collision w/ several manpages in net-fs/ncpfs, so I wonder if this package is a split of some component of ncpfs or not... > app-arch/lzma Doesn't app-arch/xz-utils effectively deprecate this? > net-firewall/fwbuilder I've maintained this in the past, but I believe upstream is dead due to the two main developers quitting the company that was behind this project. It's still highly useful, and the only GUI-based firewall building tool out there (that I know of). I believe there were some rumours of restarting development under another fork, but I haven't looked for any kind of updates in some time. -- Joshua Kinard Gentoo/MIPS [email protected] 4096R/D25D95E3 2011-03-28 "The past tempts us, the present confuses us, the future frightens us.
