For package 'app-text/crf++' the given homepage and tarball sources are outdated. The project's homepage is currently hosted on GitHub [1], rather than on the closed-down Google Code or SourceForge. The ebuild for version 0.54 refers to SourceForge [2], but this page immediately redirects to Google Code [3] which is shut down. The ebuild for version 0.58 refers to the dysfunctional Google Code page as well. Thus, the homepages as referred to in both ebuild are no longer available; the SRC_URI values no longer point to valid tarballs. Current and historic tarballs are available from the author's Google Drive page [4]. It is may not be a recommended choice, but the best (only?) way to get the sources. I am not sure if there is a public Git repository available despite being hosted on GitHub ... In a related issue, version 0.54 may get removed (released 2010) and replaced by 0.58 as being stable (released 2013).

Thank you. Is there another reason (besides that it is old) to remove 0.54? I do not think that a google drive is a good source. What are the plans by upstream? Perhaps someone can convince to use something better, or fork/mirror?
