Description Daniel Pielmeier gentoo-dev 2010-02-08 19:20:04 UTC 
+# Daniel Pielmeier <billie@gentoo.org> (08 Feb 2010)
+# Masked for removal on 10 Mar 2010.
+# Manifest failures due to upstream source changes without version bump.
+# SRC_URI changes all the time. Firmware extraction fails. Overly complex
+# ebuild for just installing one or two files.
+# Will be replaced by updating the vdr-guide with information on how to obtain
+# and install the firmware.
