I'm afraid there is nothing like a "normal" period. It depends on quite |
| 10 |
a few factors... for example, if a developer is interested in the program, |
| 11 |
if he thinks he will be able to maintain it, how clean the ebuild looks, |
| 12 |
air pressure, moon phase... |

Perhaps someone else who needs it will find it when searching |
| 18 |
bugs.gentoo.org for it. Try to see it as a "user contributed ebuilds" |
| 19 |
database aswell. |
