1 As per bug #261288 which I just failed, this mail informs of the pending
2 removal (in 30 days) of the package in subject, for these reason:
3
4 - dodoc failing in the ebuild;
5 - builds non-PIC code (TEXTRELs);
6 - bundles an internal copy of an ancient library (gdchart) we don't have in
7 portage.

9 Since the package is a leaf (nothing depends on it), it has been decided to
10 just kill it off.
