2 # These packages don't meet needed quality standards,
3 # and maintaining ebuilds based on current building
4 # system and release timing is not possible.
5 # For pd, use pd-overlay found in layman global list.
6 # For supercollider, use upstream subversion.
7 # Removed from tree in 30 days.

11 pd has dozens of build related files all messed up in their tarball,
12 not to mention installation locations (documents to /usr/lib) and if
13 moved elsewhere the package breaks.
14
15 supercollider needs a 10MB subversion snapshot which needs to be
16 patched (their SConstruct is insane wrt arch handling).
17
18 sound is not intrested in maintaining these packages anymore, unless
19 you want to pick them up, do the work to sanizite them, and get upstream
20 to apply it.. they will be gone.
