1 I just fixed a (reported) buffer overflow on it (not a security bug),
2 but the code is very bad and I'm expecting more issues in the future.

4 The ebuild wasn't bumped since 2008, the upstream FTP site is entirely
5 gone (there's no more the _domain_ of it), and net-ftp/tftp-hpa should
6 replace it in all ways.

8 So it'll be removed next month if there are no reasons to keep it around.
