But who's talking here about moving abandoned ebuilds just to keep |
| 13 |
them? I'd wanted just to make it simpler to switch the 'maintainership' |
| 14 |
from Gentoo devs to Sunrise users, when the second are ready to |
| 15 |
maintain the ebuild well. |

You may take a look at Sunrise net-im/ekg2 ebuild as an example. It has |
| 18 |
probably almost nothing in common with the original ebuild. It even uses |
| 19 |
an alternate build system, allows to fine-tune the build like not many |
| 20 |
packages do. Do you consider that an 'abandoned ebuild'? |
