Thank you Seemant, it's always a lot nicer to get bad new along with a |
| 23 |
reason (Well at least it makes it easier to digest). Your post is a lot |

more informative and at least now I have an idea why there is no |
| 25 |

I'm sorry if my post seemed an over-reation, but I think my initial |
| 28 |
question was/is a valid one. How are users supposed to get ebuilds that |
| 29 |
have been removed from portage if they need them? |
