Since the users don't seem to be able to organize themselves, I have taken the initiative to set this up. Currently there is the graveyard overlay on github, and I will be opening the required bug reports to get this mirrored on git.overlays.gentoo.org and included in layman's overlay list. I need two things: 1. Users volunteering some time to keep this running 2. Agreement on a place to host tarballs no longer hosted upstream People who are interested can contact me in the #gentoo-dev-help channel on Freenode. -- Cheers, Ben | yngwin Gentoo developer Gentoo Qt project lead, Gentoo Wiki admin
