Believe it or not it was only dropped from the Gentoo repository in March 2015. It is still available in the toolchain overlay, though I have no idea for how long, and of course nothing in the main tree will be checked for compatibility (though most stuff will likely still work - I wouldn't include systemd in that). It looks like the toolchain overlay for Gentoo actually goes all the way back to 2.3.6. None of that stuff gets security support as far as I'm aware - it is more of an archive. In fact, that ebuild might use patches that aren't being mirrored/maintained anywhere (this is a gap in how these files used to be distributed in the past which should be somewhat fixed now). -- Rich ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
