We now have 6.0.28. I think we should start deprecating 5.5 as we don't have anyone interested in maintaining it. Do you do the masking?
Someone please mask, I cannot do it.
5.5 is still considered production upstream and there are still apps that require it :(. It would be nice to have a current version in portage. I tried to make a .31 ebuild myself but had some weird compilation failures that my limited java skills couldn't make sense of. For somebody who knew what they were doing ;) it probably wouldn't take much time to whip out a new working ebuild...
