It seems maintained upstream, latest is from october: http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/muqss/5.0/5.9/ If no one is mainaining it in _gentoo_, then I understand that it will go away, perhaps you can be the new maintainer for it? The message says EAPI-5, but isn't this 6: $ grep EAPI sys-kernel/ck-sources/ck-sources-5.4.* sys-kernel/ck-sources/ck-sources-5.4.37.ebuild:EAPI="6" sys-kernel/ck-sources/ck-sources-5.4.48.ebuild:EAPI="6" Even if it is dropped in gentoo, nothing hinders you to apply the patches upstream.
