Leave it in the tree anyway? I certainly don't want unmaintained CRAP in the tree, although unmaintained decent programs are good. By decent I mean programs that are generally so old they never have version bumps ;) - -Alec -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQIVAwUBQyGOPWzglR5RwbyYAQIjsw//WUnfgMqI6b4tz6OXw7Dp86Mb3L2s/x6A 9xmYnOCN6fRTcjTgwOE9qNtfRltP9caa8GTUTzI2XaufncGpEZnM+Bm9YQ1cNBWK poTYOuhdoAB87Yf/oAlUUAv/g2NPAztaG0tFFtkPDs+/iDP8b1X2d8YAKlaGebmO By7x3mhZsLjJb6sFsG2Ww7zNGqyn0gYWy3SAoalN8TkAa5am/uvs1F1Vq5aO+2qK PQPrIpUm4lw2m8jftIjgPpZn1yUZ7u+h8dLXaDD9hkAh+mTqiXWQYrvbZIjHa/0I ysSYWxjjOdotx3DPp9DPfYFXuMQRGiA9CdZfkYUoKINOsuvvgm8f6bC/uwLc+SF+ 0xiJTHgMCj9gXd3SysJYpey6YP1k7ffgsMSSFD941lsWQUPA2B8whX3sKtkJJv5l 382wxzZb+c11RlGtesIEAzkU0rLJwwC/ZXfCRxPg+sheHqT4526+P2BNUQ2FxlYb IuLoX8TegnkNGo4BzuzfH69eWH/SKWfoechIO2rIiDRPiLd77FQwjYRXc/rJvimg FaeNE4ihoH5MZcQOEnKfPdBkmga9bvDaeAaMpGdcJFrz1LQAUuoFvjYDNwh+qPyQ Puw6M+5JFy/60johUIyJcU1xiFud6a5nwg1IpL2GRSMcBCZazvjIQfqelJ4IYAO5 ehkwxiGIOSE= =vQKJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
