gcstar is in the sunrise overlay and so will be dev-perl/Net-FreeDB. Perl packages don't enter the tree, unless some application depends on them. Please use the overlay or gcpan¹ for now. No need to keep an extra bug for gcstar. [1] http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/perl/g-cpan.xml

And I want to put it in sunrise. But by sunrise policy, I can't commit anything to sunrise unless there is a bug open for it and unless it's assigned to maintainer-wanted or maintainer-needed. See http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/sunrise/wiki/HowToCommit Please reassign this to maintainer-wanted@gentoo.org so I can commit the ebuild to sunrise, where it belongs.
*sigh* /me "loves" these overlays
This is now in the sunrise overlay. You can find it at: http://overlays.gentoo.org/svn/proj/sunrise/reviewed/dev-perl/Net-FreeDB/
@perl herd: I want to finally move gcstar from sunrise to gentoo-x86. Do I have your approval[1] to add its dependency, Net-FreeDB-0.08 (see sunrise link above) to gentoo-x86? [1]: perl herd approval is required by ebuild policy: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml?part=3&chap=1
Added to ::gentoo. Thanks. Alexandre, can you remove it from ::sunrise?
