Its time to retire the project. Put out a last call for anyone to adopt |
32 |
it. If not, then freeze commits but leave the repo open as an archive. |
33 |
Anyone who wants to scavenge ebuilds from it can do so. |

sunrise was a great idea. Debian has a similar project (I forget the |
36 |
name). But projects that depend on a particular workflow are going to |
37 |
go the way of the dinosaurs when the next vcs comes around. Today its |
38 |
github, tomorrow its ???. |
