Subject: [gentoo-dev] Masking of SETI@home 3.x and related packages

1 Hi,
2
3 It has been a while since the SETI@home project has moved to a BOINC-based
4 client. Thanks to Marcus Hanwell (cryos), we have working ebuilds for BOINC
5 and the new SETI@home client (4.x) in the tree.
6
7 The "classic" SETI@home 3.x service has now been discontinued (and the
8 software is no longer distributed). This is why I will start masking the
9 relevant packages. These will be removed from the tree in about a month. They
10 are:
11
12 =sci-astronomy/setiathome-3*
13 sci-astronomy/ksetispy
14 sci-astronomy/ksetiwatch
15 sci-astronomy/lin-seti
16 sci-astronomy/msetimon
17 sci-astronomy/setimgr
18 sci-astronomy/tkseti
19 x11-plugins/gkrellm-seti
20 x11-plugins/wmseti
21 x11-plugins/wmsetimon
22 x11-plugins/wmufo
23
24 The "seti" local USE flag used in "app-admin/torsmo" and "app-admin/conky"
25 will be masked in the base profile.
26
27 Tracker bug for the new BOINC-based SETI@home is #103250
28 (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103250).
