Base-system or the kernel team should probably handle this, since it's |
| 21 |
required for the uvesafb driver in the kernel. Though I haven't figured out |
| 22 |
how it works yet. |

I'll see about playing with this some more. I have several installs of |
| 28 |
NetWare (3.2, 4.2, 6.5) in VMs, and dabble w/ IPX at random. Bug #420053 is |
| 29 |
from a collision w/ several manpages in net-fs/ncpfs, so I wonder if this |
| 30 |
package is a split of some component of ncpfs or not... |

Doesn't app-arch/xz-utils effectively deprecate this? |

I've maintained this in the past, but I believe upstream is dead due to the |
| 41 |
two main developers quitting the company that was behind this project. It's |
| 42 |
still highly useful, and the only GUI-based firewall building tool out there |
| 43 |
(that I know of). I believe there were some rumours of restarting |
| 44 |
development under another fork, but I haven't looked for any kind of updates |
| 45 |
in some time. |
