Last time I checked, the sunrise overlay was very much alive. It's |
| 40 |
purpose is not to store old ebuilds (per se). It keeps high-quality |
| 41 |
(because they are reviewed by devs and users before they appear in the |
| 42 |
main branch) ebuilds that are not in portage tree. I think that the |
| 43 |
sunrise devs would reject ebuilds that got removed from tree for |
| 44 |
obvious reasons (dead upstream, broken etc etc) |
