Hi all,

  Unfortunately I have to come to gentoo-dev with this issue.  It is regarding 
infamous packages.gentoo.org.  Solar has closed the bug, I tried to reopened, 
but my account can't do that.  I paste the comment I tried to put on the bug:

If solar (or somebody else) has opened new bugs, I am not aware of ANY of them 
(I don't think many people would be, actually, do you?)

Guys, where else can I go?  We _ARE_ trying hard to fix packages.gentoo.org, 
the maintainer resigned (no wonder!), but to be honest with you, nobody can 
work like this.  This is the bug that is linked from the homepage, and 
everybody is looking at it waiting for it to happen...

I just kindly ask someone to reopen the bug.  The issue hasn't been fixed nor 
tested yet.  The patch that was submitted seems to be wrong, and a new one 
will be required.  We are waiting for taviso to confirm this, robbat2 has 
already confirmed it, and we are trying hard to put up a mirror so I can 
patch, test and resubmit.  It is _OUTSTANDING_.  I don't understand what is 
behind solar's thinking, but we can't work like this (with people taking this 
kind of actions without consulting others.)

And, I won't give up.  I am very patient and packages.gentoo.org WILL come 
back to life one way or another.  Even if it has to be rewritten.

Sorry for bringing this kind of crap to gentoo-dev but I had nowhere else to 
go.

Thanks,

Arturo.
