As due inactivity of the (q)vamps project, it seems that there are no new versions are coming in the near future. I submit this patch including the accordingly changed ebuild, so it could be implemented in current versions. The patch fixes a premature end of file error in vamps. For details see URL above. The creator of the patch and myself are experiencing the same problems.

From my research, it seems that vamps is broken on 2.6.19+. Thanks for the patch. I'd like to see it hit portage sooner than later as vamps is effectively broken for a large percentage of users.
fixed, thanks
Could you please move current stable 0.99.2 to the ~arch branch and, if appropriate, mark the patched version as stable? It's somehow odd to close a bug as "RESOLVED FIXED", but leave things in the portage tree as they are. A normal user expects the stable version to be working, and the the unstable to be unstable, not the other way round. Thank you
