The eclipse overlay is hosted on gitweb.gentoo.org and IMHO if it's going to be there rather than in some individual's private github account there should be an expectation that the Gentoo project can seek out new maintainers to take over, if the current maintainers don't wish to continue maintaining it. If the current maintainers wished to keep maintaining it, that would be one thing, but refusing to maintain it in the desire to have it die is pretty silly. Another option would be to package it in GURU: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:GURU -- this would imply that you expect all users who have volunteered to contribute to GURU to be able to make updates to eclipse. Then delete the eclipse overlay as obsolete and superseded. --=20 Eli Schwartz --------------GNxyjg2DmCk1WwYDkzNVxC6w-- --------------mKcK91egjYi4yK59LohmjKTA Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="OpenPGP_signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="OpenPGP_signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- wnsEABYIACMWIQTnFNnmK0TPZHnXm3qEp9ErcA0vVwUCZuzsGQUDAAAAAAAKCRCEp9ErcA0vV9VR AQCB66RWcbUYNEJm/wX42nCquMj3HPJUz1GHefyhXCMrhQEApMzoI1gY1uBAMKLf1l3NXDxCh5mB iPrUvCUFtvZddAM= =H5hi -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------mKcK91egjYi4yK59LohmjKTA--
