My concern is for those people using sunrise packages (in whatever
broken state) who might suddenly discover they have completly lost
access to the overlay 'overnight'. Whilst I'm not expecting the
server/repo suddenly to disappear .. there should be a planned migration
path for any users lingering on packages in this overlay to get the
package into maintainership of some form if at all possible. As such it
remains a semi-official Gentoo repository ..
One example: I have 1 package installed from sunrise, app-misc/gpspoint. I
used it regularly until recently (after buying a good android phone, I use
osmand on it instead of my old garmin navigator; but this navigator is
still working, and I might want to download some track from it, in which
case I'll need gpspoint). OK, I can commit it to the main tree. But I'm
sure there are other working packages in sunrise, too.
