Subject: [gentoo-dev] Last rites for media-sound/fobbit

1 This is a last rites package coming from who was known as the package
2 undertaker (before antarus took my place, that is :P)...

4 media-sound/fobbit is suffering from lack of maintainership, the description
5 states that's a software to use Creative VoiceBlaster USB VoIP phone devices,
6 so at a least it requires particular hardware to be used.
7
8 The code contains a kernel module, built in an ancient way, and for what I can
9 see it's not for Kernel 2.6, but rather for 2.2/2.4, which makes it difficult
10 to manage anyway.
11
12 The short changelog shows that the only gentoo developer actually taking care
13 of it was jje (that I don't remember to have heard of) in 2003, and then
14 eradicator marked it stable. After that, just other two entries from him, and
15 one from me for a generic policy update..
16
17 Anyway, will mask it, and remove it in 30 days if nobody has reasons to leave
18 it in the tree.
