1 To whom it may concern,
2
3 The OpenAFS ebuilds have been unmaintained for more than a year now. Even
4 though ebuilds and patches have been submitted in Bugzilla, only trivial
5 ebuild changes have been made in portage. This is especially of concern
6 because the version of OpenAFS in Portage is incompatible with 2.6
7 kernels.
8
9 If the current developers are unable or unwilling to apply
10 patches to the OpenAFS ebuilds, perhaps someone new should be given the
11 task. Several people have submitted patches for OpenAFS to Bugzilla, and a
12 few have volunteered to maintain it. I might suggest that one of these
13 people could be given the task of maintaining OpenAFS.
14
15 Anyway, many thanks for anything that can be done.

17 Sincerely,
