Nothing more recent than that? 2 1/2 years ago seems pretty far away...

The last meaningful commit was done a little over 3 years ago...

ggv is a dead project. Upstream refused to fix performance issues I had
with it a few years ago. Evince is _now_ both faster and prettier (I
agree it wasn't true at first, ggv was much faster)

I'd rather we take ggv out of portage. We'd be doing our users a big favor.
