1 Hi,
2
3 a short list of packages, which can be buried imho:
4
5 x11-misc/kpasman - unmaintained upstream for years, alternatives e.g.
6 kde-misc/pwmanager
7
8 media-libs/libdbmusic - exclusive dependency of media-sound/kmusicdb, which
9 has been removed a while ago
10
11 net-misc/knetmonapplet - unmaintained upstream for years, alternatives are
12 net-misc/{kbandwidth,knemo,knetload,ktraynetworker} or the ksysguard kicker
13 applet
14
15 I'll bury these packages in a week, if no one yells that he can't live without
16 them and takes over maintainership.

19 As soon as KDE 3.5 goes stable - no date yet - I'd like to bury
20
21 x11-misc/karamba (if desktop-misc herd agrees)
22 x11-misc/superkaramba
23
24 as well as
25
26 x11-plugins/karamba-* - unmaintained for years
27
28 Reasoning is that the Superkaramba that comes with KDE 3.5 is a rewrite,
29 enabling the user to directly download the karamba plugins he wants, while
30 the packages are not maintained within Gentoo and the other Karamba versions
31 are not maintained upstream anymore.
