Last time I checked, the sunrise overlay was very much alive. It's purpose is not to store old ebuilds (per se). It keeps high-quality (because they are reviewed by devs and users before they appear in the main branch) ebuilds that are not in portage tree. I think that the sunrise devs would reject ebuilds that got removed from tree for obvious reasons (dead upstream, broken etc etc) -- Regards, Markos Chandras - Gentoo Linux Developer http://dev.gentoo.org/~hwoarang
