[gentoo-dev] last rites: net-im/ohphone

2006-09-19 Thread Alastair Tse
Hi, net-im/ohphone has just entered package.mask and will be removed after 30 days because I've lost interest in the package a year or so ago and no one has stepped up to take it. A possible alternative is net-im/ekiga. Related bug: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105670 Thanks, Alastai

[gentoo-dev] Last Rites app-pda/rapip
