39 Adding treecleaners@g.o to mask and remove this package.
40 x11-themes/zinf-themes will need to go too. I already talked to HumpBack
41 about it.... his words in #gentoo-dev "KILL KILL KILL".
42
43 Reasons: The package doesn't compile, there isn't a stable x86 version
44 ported to modular-x, it crashes for some people, it has no ebuild
45 maintainer, no one from sound team has stepped up to fix zinf, no
46 release since 2004, the stuff in cvs doesn't work (autogen fails), and
47 it has an exec stack QA warning on x86. Also, other packages offer the
48 same look & feel and functionality (xmms, audacious, bmpx, ...).
49
50 zinf-themes lacks a bug; I will get to it shortly.
