Hi everyone,
I emailed the list some time ago about giving away a bunch of bitcoin
forks to see if anyone was interested in taking them. I didn't get any
feedback so as of tomorrow I'll be masking the following for removal in
30 days.
Any reason for mask and removal? Are these packages broken?
Just drop them to maintainer-needed.
Best regards,
Andrew Savchenko
Perhaps we should start posting these orphaned-package announcements to
gentoo-user, so folks interested in learning about ebuilds can ponder
proxy-maintenance of a few packages as an opportunity?
Surely there is a wider audience that will see some packages they like
are going away because there are not enough maintainers, and thus
respond by 'stepping up' to maintain a few packages?
hth,
James
