Description nm (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-12-03 05:41:21 UTC
gkrellm-wifi lists brix's old devspace for both homepage and src_uri, yet he was retired 2 or 3 years ago, so the links are completely dead.

Don't assign it to me; I don't have access to gentoo-x86.

Why do you assign it to bug-wranglers, then? Why bother me with it?

I use this package. What needs to be done to save it? I'm willing to fork it.

Isn't 7 days unusually short? I only sync the laptop in question about twice a month if at all.

Would be nice to have one or two alternatives listed in here as this bug is referenced in the package mask.

Found an alternative: x11-plugins/gkrellmwireless. So I like the one to be removed more.

Most likely you just need to provide a homepage with a download and a bug tracker where bugs get fixed in a timely manner if they should arise.
If I were you I'd try to get in touch with brix and scarabeus to discuss the available options.

http://brixandersen.dk/files/gkrellm-wifi/ has the source.

Sounds like it is the same as gkrellm-wireless, isn't it?

http://gkrellm.luon.net/gkrellmwireless.php

Which is allready uo to date in portage.

The source given in #5 is from 2004. That looks like there is no development of what so ever.

Treecleaned, since the link provided is slightly "old" and there is  0 upstream.
