Hi. |

|

Most importantly, the package had no maintainer to help it along. So, we |
| 10 |
could leave it masked indefinitely (because no dev cared enough to |
| 11 |
improve the ebuild). Or, we could remove it. Cruft in the tree is not ok |
| 12 |
because it helps no one. =/ The package was masked since March, which |
| 13 |
gives more than enough time for another dev to pick it up but since no |
| 14 |
one did, it was treecleaned. |

Feel free to write an ebuild for the pending version bump to 2.7.1 and |
| 17 |
then maybe one of the proxy maintainers will help you out for |
| 18 |
gentoo-x86. Also, there is the sunrise project where you can maintain it |
| 19 |
yourself: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/sunrise/ |

Shortage of man power will do this, especially for maintainer-needed |
| 26 |
packages. It was not my intent to personally offend you regarding this |
| 27 |
package. |
