Dear people (those who care), I just masked net-www/mod_encoding and |
| 2 |
net-www/mod_random. |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
net-www/mod_encoding is useless with any modern system (it was usefull back in |
| 5 |
the days where browsers/apache couldn't interpret non-ascii charsets |
| 6 |
correctly). There hasn't been any new release for >2 years, and modern |
| 7 |
apache / browsers already support that kind of feature. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
net-www/mod_random is a module providing custom, randomized responses which |
| 10 |
can be easily implemented by using some random apache interface-able |
| 11 |
scripting language (pick any of ruby, python, php, ...). |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Another reason for this is, that the apache team lost another member and thus |
| 14 |
we are reorganizing stuff, removing ebuilds that are broken, useless with |
| 15 |
current versions of apache or superseeded by other packages, that work better |
| 16 |
and are better maintainable. |

It is fading away sometime in February. |
