Hi, |

I removed gs-sources from portage recently. This was maintained by a developer |
| 4 |
who is no longer active, and all his work was combined into a single patch |
| 5 |
meaning that nobody else could pick it up without starting clean. |

This package has been untouched for 10 months, except for security fixes. |
| 8 |
There were a few open bugs and I myself had trouble even getting it to |
| 9 |
compile. Providing broken and unmaintained packages is not something we like |
| 10 |
to do. |

I apologise that there was no warning - I did not see the need for this since |
| 13 |
it is out of date and hasn't been worked on for a long time. |

You are free to continue using gs-sources if you want to. You would be in |
| 16 |
exactly the same situation if the ebuild was still in the tree - it is not |
| 17 |
under development either way. |

Also, I would not recommend running -pre or -rc kernels in a server environment. |
