Okay, let's do this. Since the users don't seem to be able to organize |
16 |
themselves, I have taken the initiative to set this up. Currently |
17 |
there is the graveyard overlay on github, and I will be opening the |
18 |
required bug reports to get this mirrored on git.overlays.gentoo.org |
19 |
and included in layman's overlay list. |

21 |
I need two things: |
22 |
|
23 |
1. Users volunteering some time to keep this running |
24 |
2. Agreement on a place to host tarballs no longer hosted upstream |
25 |
|
26 |
People who are interested can contact me in the #gentoo-dev-help |
27 |
channel on Freenode. |
