[gentoo-user] Attic (cvs) -> ???(git)

[James <wireless@tampabay.rr.com>]

Howdy,


So using wget to fetch {package/files} from the gentoo attic was/is a reliable
exercise to build things removed from the tree, into one's
/usr/local/portage tree. It still works, but I'm guessing there is a now a
"github_way" to do this.  A Fully automated script? I could not find a
gentoo wiki page to such effect, nor any other suggested pathway, but surely
it exists? I guessing the gentoo's cvs_attic is deprecated now and thus
subject to removal in the near future?


I'd would be excited to see a specific example, using git on on of  the 
recently removed packages "app-misc/multimon" [1], which was just removed 
from the portage tree, unless someone wants to use another example. That
package is about radio packets. 


Furthermore, I intend to rescue quite a few old C codes, so bear that in
mind should anyone's pedantic latencies give them urges for organizational
guidelines in addition to raw syntax tidbits.
