What I meant was that the code structure has been barely functional. The code worked and I don't like the fact that it is broken at all. That is one of the reasons I have been working like mad to get the ports in the LinuxBIOS tree up and going again. > > And the current code base cleanups have pushed them over the edge. > > That I'll believe. The difference from some of the other ports is those were just a matter of fixing up the references to the new way of handling things. With the epia and epia-m ports you can't do that with simple code inspection. If you know how things are supposed to work and can test it. Putting Humpty-Dumpty back together again should still be fairly doable. But it is not something someone who does not have a board and is not familiar with the details of the port can reasonably try.
