Look around the old code is out there. Find an old version that works and get that working. Then go to the ltsp upstream development site and get the latest stable release. Create your own ebuild so you not dependant for the devs to maintain what you like. Also, look around at the other gentoo-derivate OS and see if they have some ltsp hack of an ebuild lying around. The gentoo attics is your friend [2] You can usually find a way to build/install it, without using a gentoo ebuild, but that is not the preferred method. https://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/ltsp.xml:: has been removed, so the devs think it is useless or nobody wants to maintain it. If you really like that package, be the proxy maintainer once you repair/upgrade the associated ebuilds. Seen the proxy-maintainer project in the gentoo wiki for more detail. hth, James https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/ltsp.git http://www.ltsp.org/ https://gpo.zugaina.org/Overlays
