27 I've been working with barry and it works perfectly fine without libopensync
28 (guess what the opensync USE flag does). So don't touch it.

30 Hey, here's an idea. Before you go making big masks like this for packages
31 several people depend on, maybe try looking for a maintainer. I would have
32 looked at this long ago if someone had simply said "Hey, opensync needs some
33 lovin". At least half of the listed bugs are either five-minute fixes or not
34 grounds for removal (seriously, there's three duplicates, a svn ebuild, and
35 maintainer-wanted bug).

39 fonts, gcc-porting, it makes no sense how it makes no sense
40 toolchain, wxwidgets but i'll take it free anytime
