app-portage/epm is being removed from the tree within the next 30 days and is package masked. No one on the tools-portage team is willing to maintain the old perl code, and no one has stepped up to proxy-maintain the code either. I have the latest repository located at: https://github.com/fuzzyray/epm If someone does want to maintain the code and keep it in the tree, feel free to fork the repository and become upstream and work with the proxy-maintainers project https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Proxy_Maintainers
