That's because he is retired, according to |

I'm not entirely sure what the problem is that you're trying to report. |
| 13 |
If you want to use phpBB yourself, then you need to follow the |
| 14 |
instructions from "emerge phpBB" and see the MASKED PACKAGES section of |
| 15 |
the emerge man page. However, you must be prepared to accept that phpBB |
| 16 |
has a dubious security history and requires extra care and attention to |
| 17 |
prevent your server being compromised. |

If you look at http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/forums/index.xml#doc_chap4 |
| 20 |
you'll see that the 3-man Forums Infrastructure Subproject is |
| 21 |
responsible for maintaining the MySQL database and the phpBB instance |
| 22 |
that powers forums.gentoo.org . The underlying server is presumably |
| 23 |
maintained and secured by the Infrastructure team |
| 24 |
(http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/infrastructure/index.xml), which includes |
| 25 |
some of our most experienced developers. |

FYI, an easier way of doing this is: |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
andrew@elm ~ $ emerge --info | fgrep Timestamp |
| 36 |
Timestamp of tree: Thu, 22 Nov 2007 15:46:01 +0000 |
