It seems maintained upstream, latest is from october: |
| 17 |
http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/muqss/5.0/5.9/ |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
If no one is mainaining it in _gentoo_, then I understand that it will go |
| 20 |
away, perhaps you can be the new maintainer for it? |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
The message says EAPI-5, but isn't this 6: |
| 23 |
$ grep EAPI sys-kernel/ck-sources/ck-sources-5.4.* |
| 24 |
sys-kernel/ck-sources/ck-sources-5.4.37.ebuild:EAPI="6" |
| 25 |
sys-kernel/ck-sources/ck-sources-5.4.48.ebuild:EAPI="6" |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Even if it is dropped in gentoo, nothing hinders you to apply the |
| 28 |
patches upstream. |
