Sorry while your opinion on the license seems relevant, the rest seems not so to me. If you want to get into the whole discussion about keeping old ebuilds, the forums have been after that for ages. The standard reply is download them from cvs, which isn't hard if you need 'em for enterprise (the installed ones are kept in vdb in any case.) I don't see why Gentoo should be supporting old *install media* as opposed to the tree of software which people should have updated to. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
