Have you checked in Gentoo CVS? Every ebuild that has ever existed is
still in CVS, in the Attic. To use your example:
http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/x11-base/xorg-x11/?hideattic=0
reveals your missing xorg-x11-6.8.2-r1.ebuild. The ebuild itself is
at
http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/gentoo-x86/x11-base/xorg-x11/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r1.ebuild
Hope that helps.

Thanks Ryan. However, isn't that only part of the required file set?
There are patches and other things generally needed to allow an ebuild
actually install correctly. Where do I get those? For instance, when
mythtv-0.18.1-r1was removed from portage I had to go set this up in my
portage overlay:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ ls -al /usr/local/portage/media-tv/mythtv/
total 24
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jul 3 18:27 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jul 2 13:40 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 906 Jul 2 13:46 Manifest
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 3 18:27 files

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ ls -al /usr/local/portage/media-tv/mythtv/files/
total 20
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 3 18:27 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jul 3 18:27 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 247 Jul 2 13:46 digest-mythtv-0.18.1-r1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 304 Jul 2 15:58 mythtv-0.18.1-opengl-fix.patch
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 631 Jul 2 15:59 mythtv-0.18.1-x86_64-configure.patch
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $
When I set this up I couldn't find the files to download but
fortunately had them on a local machine that hadn't been updated.
Without the patch files the ebuild doesn't work.
To float an idea, if portage was going to remove an ebuild from my
system since the devs/maintainers aren't supporting it anymore, then
instead of removing it why doesn't it just move it to my portage
overlay directory so my system continues to build correctly?
Just an idea.
Cheers,
Mark
