Comment 1 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-07-01 03:40:36 UTC 
gone from games-board/ggz-kde-client
Comment 2 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-09-30 18:31:27 UTC 
Hmm...
Comment 3 Saleem Abdulrasool (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-10-28 21:17:10 UTC 
rhythmbox-0.10.1-r1.ebuild will drop howl support (needs 30 days for stable).
Comment 4 Olivier Crete (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-10-28 21:27:11 UTC 
net-im/gaim is going away soon (as soon as its fixed on ppc64) and it has already been removed from pidgin
Comment 5 Olivier Crete (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-10-28 21:37:32 UTC 
well gaim 2.0-beta6 is gone... so no more howl on the net-im side..

I've added 0.2.4.1 with howl support dropped to replace 0.2.4 soon as it's tested a bit (and stabilized).

There is also 0.3.0_pre1586 which is package.masked and still not updated, don't let this stop you in anyway. It also needs to be updated but that's another story for another day.
Comment 7 Gustavo Felisberto (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-11-05 17:07:09 UTC 
net-libs/obby-0.3.0 removed from tree.
Comment 8 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-01-04 14:36:52 UTC 
Nothing depends on this any more; safe to punt.
Comment 9 Saleem Abdulrasool (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-01-06 04:13:53 UTC 
 # Saleem Abdulrasool <compnerd@gentoo.org> (05 Jan 2008)
 # Mask for removal in 30 days.  This has been superceeded by Avahi.  Upstream
 # considers it a dead project and actively refuses to work on it or accept
 # patches.
