# Bernard Cafarelli <voyageur@gentoo.org> (04 Dec 2008)
# Masked for removal in 30 days (bug #249799)
# * Upstream closed web site and source downloads
# * No updates since first release 2 years ago
# * Still based on old NX 1.5 code, missing features and being mostly
# incompatible with current NX servers/clients
# * Client does not compile with gcc4.3 or --as-needed (bug #248138).
# * Server includes old, unpatched xorg sources, probably vulnerable to
GLSA
# 200710-09 and 200804-05.
# * GPL alternatives exist: net-misc/qtnx, net-misc/nxserver-freenx
