So using wget to fetch {package/files} from the gentoo attic was/is a reliable |
5 |
exercise to build things removed from the tree, into one's |
6 |
/usr/local/portage tree. It still works, but I'm guessing there is a now a |
7 |
"github_way" to do this. A Fully automated script? I could not find a |
8 |
gentoo wiki page to such effect, nor any other suggested pathway, but surely |
9 |
it exists? I guessing the gentoo's cvs_attic is deprecated now and thus |
10 |
subject to removal in the near future? |

I'd would be excited to see a specific example, using git on on of the |
14 |
recently removed packages "app-misc/multimon" [1], which was just removed |
15 |
from the portage tree, unless someone wants to use another example. That |
16 |
package is about radio packets. |

Furthermore, I intend to rescue quite a few old C codes, so bear that in |
20 |
mind should anyone's pedantic latencies give them urges for organizational |
21 |
guidelines in addition to raw syntax tidbits. |
