1 Dear all,
2
3 Sylvain from the gna.org team announced on 2016-11-20 to shut down the
4 repository [1].
5
6 Today we have still ~80 ebuilds with gna.org in the SRC_URI and/or
7 HOMEPAGE variables in the tree.
8 Unfortunately these ebuilds have no maintainer.
9 A list is online [2]
10
11 Please fix the ebuilds, in order to save them from getting on the
12 treeclean candidates list.
13
14 More than 5 large repositories shut down in the last 3 years.
15 A wiki page for shut down repositories was prepared to keep a better
16 overview [3].
