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]. |
