Description Richard H. 2019-12-06 09:18:03 UTC
!!! The following installed packages are masked:
- media-sound/abcde-2.9.3::gentoo (masked by: package.mask)
/usr/portage/profiles/package.mask:
# Aaron Bauman <bman@gentoo.org> (2019-12-04)
# These are (mostly) leaf packages with only py2.7
# Please review commit msg. Removal in 30 days
# THIS MASK HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY THE QA TEAM VIA
# MAJORITY VOTE. YOU CAN REMOVE SINGLE PACKAGES
# IF YOU PERSONALLY STEP IN TO MAINTAIN THEM (AND
# ADD YOURSELF TO THEIR METADATA).

So, does this mean this package will simply be removed? I don't see where it is a leaf, since it is a greatly usable app. I also don't see any alternatives either. So maybe someone could maintain it?

Reproducible: Always

Are you going to port it to python3?

Sure. It's a bash script.

Ah, it's one of the dependencies...
