[gentoo-dev] Last rites: media-plugins/vdr-* mass masking

[Joerg Bornkessel]

Before looking at the complete list, some words from me:
All packages have been carefully selected and checked.
Many packages have been abandoned by upstream and only live on user
provided patches.
I also looked at the Debian and Archlinux colleagues,
what they did in their repos.
The bug https://bugs.gentoo.org/703944 was previously in the
vdr-portal.de put up for discussion.
It is not my intention to make users unhappy using certain packages. If
user patches are submitted later, it is possible to keep the packages in
the tree.
The list is not written in stone ...
