The fringe packages will always be under-maintained but a travelling salesman algorithm for migrating packages on portage mirror resources would certainly garner a glut of proposals. --------------090604080608030801090205 Content-Type: text/x-vcard; charset=utf-8; name="glamdring-inc.vcf" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="glamdring-inc.vcf" begin:vcard fn:James Northrup n:Northrup;James email;internet:glamdring-inc@comcast.net tel;home:510 725 4587 tel;cell:408 896 6239 x-mozilla-html:TRUE version:2.1 end:vcard --------------090604080608030801090205-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
