+# netcdf(-java) is horribly outdated, it requires dev-java/ehcache which is
+# being removed. This ebuild cannot be moved into ::sci because the sources
+# are no longer available outside of the Gentoo mirror. Newer versions of
+# netcdf-java and ehcache use a maven based build system which currently does
+# not work with portage. The only real solution would be to add a netcdf-bin
+# package. If you need this software please complain on bugzilla or GitHub.
+# Masked for removal when dev-java/ehcache is removed from ::gentoo (~30 days).
