Is it really necessary to remove it this quickly instead of waiting the
standard month so users have time to handle switching to something else if
they are using it?

[gentoo-dev] Last rites for net-libs/libpcap-ringbuffer

2006-02-11 Thread Markus Ullmann 

If there aren't any objections, we (netmon herd) will hardmask this
package in a week and delete it one week later.

Removing is due to lack of required features for some popular apps and
bug #117898.

With this removal we also want to wipe out the virtual/libpcap. So if
any of your ebuilds uses it, change it to net-libs/libpcap instead.
We'll do this on our own if there are any ones left in two weeks to
avoid tree breakage.
