That means feel free to restrict the masks to <0.15 like libsynce is now, as proper ebuilds get committed to tree.

Any chance of holding > off on the mask/removal? Added longer removal date. 2011-01-01. Unfortunately 0.14 is in so bad shape there's nothing worth stabilizing for when every single package comes with missing depends, wrong python usage, other random bugs... and previous versions are even more of a mess.

FYI work fluctuates for me - this and next week is busy (limited/no updates from me), then I have some free time again. Finding a new maintainer would be easiest, I've almost finished SynCE 0.15; becoming a dev would obviously take longer.

Samuli, there was a very recent thread in this ml about these packages and the conclusion was that they fall to the pda herd. The proxy-user also asked for help and showed interest in working to become a developer. As such, did you contact the pda herd about these packages? Did peper drop the herd from these packages? Waiting more than 1 day to "kill" these wouldn't "hurt us". - -- Regards, Jorge Vicetto (jmbsvicetto) - jmbsvicetto at gentoo dot org Gentoo- forums / Userrel / Devrel / KDE / Elections / RelEng -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v2.0.16 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJM0w4aAAoJEC8ZTXQF1qEPTh0P/1IZK4Gdu7WqJxlL7vSgf2to rSBAljrLDP7Ye6YkDKLVSRooWZDGfI0dkxvjIHEZhuvnekpolLjcct56tKzkPw47 buEyKIfFFyROBL6++brvE1aseSd+FGryqivd424+eYVkxw6tr+2yYWUEnZdFF+pX TBBTn3YxsvIy4KmRErdIoWebjP19Q9QIhJy0FUFBkOTJKKCGXrfptT1NogPHTZ1X XMUU8nBODuYKezw80FHmZ4yURbWMgXMnhz5lQbxgvYH8JMHYpoAbqRF7L4sKtScV I6AnH96dmtKqShGLTvVYunzMhPl+CFjboAHzQw9/A2duRbsIHyxcQKvHTx+NstHp yIwujpLblpXlykjIxwfTztuN2Fc+WfNuHJVdHgypMnj038KenG6jYWRlNs+pzx0T Cws41czGJd0nYbJ9vyN4iC5/ZIQZEccWswcLWFPsZUE2ldoDeNbn89gEA/eZPk1+ qMPxaGoZfc2GZkvj6SSN5GYm0Kc2wxfOs+XZuaNzp0Q0Q406/U7yACXsPeUN7+E9 X3gMkV1RS+/QvnuIhv+qmDrXQSseZIbnSHcd+hUq3G5rKHMc2NCU8mVvS+LuFTot jdqPKjBmdZOU7eRTaMMqLvtXmsJP1dvWLgTWhLNv2c1atH2mK4qQmlQKFJZtw12+ KRmlcpf14+48ryaZg4JP =G9wH -END PGP SIGNATURE-
