Subject: [gentoo-dev] gna.org shutdown requires ~80 ebuilds without maintainer to be fixed
Date: Sun, 11 Jun 2017 23:20:44 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <d328eb35-333a-b051-62d6-ac525e755aeb@gentoo.org> (raw)

Dear all,

Sylvain from the gna.org team announced on 2016-11-20 to shut down the
repository [1].

Today we have still ~80 ebuilds with gna.org in the SRC_URI and/or
HOMEPAGE variables in the tree.
Unfortunately these ebuilds have no maintainer.
A list is online [2]

Please fix the ebuilds, in order to save them from getting on the
treeclean candidates list.

More than 5 large repositories shut down in the last 3 years.
A wiki page for shut down repositories was prepared to keep a better
overview [3].

Best,
