I'm uploading a new cleaned-up ebuild for a more recent version of u9fs (2.0.3),
and the corresponding xinetd.d sample file.

Now that v9fs is in the kernel, I guess this would be a nice thing to have
in portage.

I'd like to see this package added too, however it has a license not in
Portage, so I've attached it. Also, bug 87291 needs this as well.

(this is an automated message based on filtering criteria that matched this bug)
'EBUILD' is in the KEYWORDS which should mean that there is a ebuild attached 
to this bug.
This bug is assigned to maintainer-wanted which means that it is not in the 
main tree.

Hello, The Gentoo Team would like to firstly thank you for your ebuild 
submission. We also apologize for not being able to accommodate you in a timely
manner. There are simply too many new packages.

Allow me to use this opportunity to introduce you to Gentoo Sunrise. The 
sunrise overlay[1] is a overlay for Gentoo which we allow trusted users to 
commit to and all users can have ebuilds reviewed by Gentoo devs for entry 
into the overlay. So, the sunrise team is suggesting that you look into this 
and submit your ebuild to the overlay where even *you* can commit to. =)

Because this is a mass message, we are also asking you to be patient with us. 
We anticipate a large number of requests in a short time. 

Thanks,
On behalf of the Gentoo Sunrise Team,
Jeremy.

There hasn't been any upstream development on this since August of 2005. u9fs is long dead and buried. Its been superseded by <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/npfs">npfs</a> which includes spfs, which has the functionality of u9fs. 

Although spfs itself hasn't had a release since Aug 28 2007, the sourceforge SVN commits do show activity as of Dec 9, 2008. 

In the meantime, I think this bug can be closed. A new one can be opened for npfs if someone wants to. After 3 1/2 years my interests have moved to other things.

I have an up to date version in my overlay:
https://cgit.gentoo.org/user/emery.git/tree/net-fs/u9fs

U9fs can be used with systemD, which is how I use it on NixOS, but I don't have any Gentoo systemD boxen to test on.
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/network-filesystems/u9fs.nix

I consider u9fs to be done, not unmantained.
