8 I never used ltsp so take what I say with a grain of salt....

10 Look around the old code is out there. Find an old version that works
11 and get that working. Then go to the ltsp upstream development site
12 and get the latest stable release. Create your own ebuild so you not
13 dependant for the devs to maintain what you like. Also, look around at
14 the other gentoo-derivate OS and see if they have some ltsp hack of
15 an ebuild lying around. The gentoo attics is your friend [2]
16
17 You can usually find a way to build/install it, without using a gentoo
18 ebuild, but that is not the preferred method.
19 https://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/ltsp.xml:: has been removed, so the devs think
20 it is useless or nobody wants to maintain it. If you really like that
21 package, be the proxy maintainer once you repair/upgrade the associated
22 ebuilds. Seen the proxy-maintainer project in the gentoo wiki for more detail.
