By the look of the CVS tree this ebuild has NEVER been in portage. How |
| 40 |
it got on your system can only be explained by you. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
If you think it is in portage on some of your systems you can verify by |
| 43 |
looking in the directory |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
ls /usr/portage/net-analyzer/jffnms/ |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
If you want to build it why don't you download the ebuild from the |
| 48 |
bugzilla site and put it in your overlay? The overlay process is well |
| 49 |
documented, I am not going to burden this list with yet another |
| 50 |
explanation. |

It doesn't look abandoned to me, the last post was on 19 October 2005, |
| 57 |
when a new version of the ebuild was posted. |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
Lots of new evuilds get posted to bugzilla, not as many ever come out |
| 60 |
the other end. |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
Once you have tested it don't forget to go back to the bug and report |
| 63 |
back on your experience. |
