To whom it may concern,

The OpenAFS ebuilds have been unmaintained for more than a year now. Even 
though ebuilds and patches have been submitted in Bugzilla, only trivial 
ebuild changes have been made in portage. This is especially of concern 
because the version of OpenAFS in Portage is incompatible with 2.6 
kernels.

If the current developers are unable or unwilling to apply 
patches to the OpenAFS ebuilds, perhaps someone new should be given the 
task. Several people have submitted patches for OpenAFS to Bugzilla, and a 
few have volunteered to maintain it. I might suggest that one of these 
people could be given the task of maintaining OpenAFS.

Anyway, many thanks for anything that can be done.

Sincerely,

John Ranson

there are no openafs developers, read the mail archives

ive sent a few requests for someone to step up and maintain the package, no 
one has followed through on it

people can complain all they want, openafs will stay broken until a developer 
decides to maintain it or we bring someone on to do so
