[Comment 3 J. Roeleveld 2020-11-11 06:15:45 UTC]

The package:

net-analyzer/nagios-plugins-flameeyes

still works as advertised.

Why is this being depcleaned?

Because having unkeyworded live ebuild to an archived Github repo makes no sense. The ebuild itself is outdated and has numerous QA issues. So it's clear this hasn't been maintained in Gentoo lately. If you want to save the package, become the maintainer, update the ebuild to match our modern standards and make a keyworded snapshot-release out of the latest commit.

Don't be afraid to ask for guidance should you need it, or pop in to #gentoo-dev-help IRC channel.

[Comment 5 J. Roeleveld 2020-11-11 07:19:12 UTC]

Apologies, I was not aware flameeyes actively discontinued these.

Guess I will either need to copy the 2 checks I use myself somewhere or find alternatives. (Neither belongs in this bug, so please ignore my comments)
