13 Not a user of foo2zjs or anything, but I somewhat compulsively check these
14 things when I read them on this list, and saw that the ebuild you attached is
15 in fact in the portage tree, see https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/net-print/foo2zjs. It's just a live ebuild, so I suppose that Frank Steinmetzger
16 meant that whatever release was once in the tree got dropped, leaving only the
17 live ebuild.

19 [ BTW, I only now consciously realised that it's Steinmetz*ger*. What an
20 interesting mental image that conjures ;-) . ]
