Description Filip Kobierski 2024-08-07 10:36:11 UTC

Git holds package's history since 2015.
Since then it has recieved these non-generic changes:
- Shorter DESCRIPTION in 2015
- EAPI bump (2 to 7!) in 2017
- Fix net-analyzer/snmptt dependency in 2020
- fix installation of config, ${D} usage

That's nearly 10 years without version updates nor a maintainer.

Only we and one Gentoo derivative (LigurOS) ships it.
HOMEPAGE is dead and SRC_URI redirects to Nagios stuff, which is in the tree.

This makes me believe this package is obsolete and only burdens the tree.
