Description:   Opened: 2009-08-16 12:29 0000 
The last set of packages was dated from 2008-11-09. 
As you can see here [1], most of the packages are out of date (don't exist in
portage tree anymore) and might have vulnerabilities.

It will also make some users happy to see a version of gnutls included [2] and
get the revdep-rebuild problem [3] fixed.

If there is any opportunity to provide help as an average user without
knowledge in writing ebuilds etc., please tell me what I can do to improve the
situation on emul-linux packages.

Thanks in advance!

Out of date version of emul-linux-x86-xlibs makes running 32-bit binaries on
some video cards quite troublesome. See for example bug #290153. On my hardware
(Radeon Xpress 200M) 32-bit programs using OpenGL make X-server lock so hard,
that even kill -9 via ssh does not help and the machine needs to be rebooted.

I'm willing to help with testing and development of new emul-linux-* libs, just
tell me where should I start. Thanks in advance.

I would also be interested in testing changes.  Is anyone on the AMD64 team
working on this right now?
