Description nm (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-03-12 02:04:01 UTC
To no one's surprise, the upstream HOMEPAGE listed in waimea's ebuild is dead. Replaced by the usual search engine/spam/scam page.

Alternatives:
http://waimea.sourceforge.net/
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/waimea

Also, it appears that waimea development is dead unless someone takes over:

You can also find the latest waimea version (0.5.1) linked on the mailing list:

Thanks for the bug report. I updated URLs for each ebuild.
I couldn't find the latest waimea-0.5.1.tar.gz, though :-(

You're right... The link seems to be dead now. It worked when I posted it though... maybe I should have downloaded the package then...

For those interested in waimea 0.5.1 I have found this:
http://www.hemamu.com/hemamu/debian/old/waimea_0.5.1.tar.gz dated 02-Feb-2005 00:31

The size is 321K which is smaller than the size the previous package I posted had (333K)
