Description Alex 2005-12-27 07:03:00 UTC

The package linuxtrade in portage was a real time stock streamer. Real time stock quotes are not free, and the person who maintained the project could not afford to keep it functional due to lack of donations. You can read more on the home page for this package:
http://linuxtrade.rkkda.com/

Nobody is going to miss a package that doesn't work and has been dead for years.

I submitted this nearly a month ago. Why is it so hard to fix?
