Loper (2019-07-01) ## # This is no longer supported upstream, please switch to dev-foo/bar. ## dev-foo/foo #--- END OF EXAMPLES --- # Volkmar W. Pogatzki (2024-12-16) # Bug #946526. There is a newer version in dev-java/stringprep-2.2 pending for # stabilization. Then dev-java/saslprep should be last-rited. dev-java/saslprep # Michał Górny (2024-06-15) # Stop-gap compatibility package. Upstreams really need to move away # from the removed cgi module rather than rely on this. dev-python/legacy-cgi # Nowa Ammerlaan (2024-03-09) # Unmaintained upstream. Does not build with llvm-16 and up, nor with # python-3.12 and up. Please port to Qt6. # Bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/920544 dev-python/pyside2 dev-python/pyside2-tools dev-python/shiboken2 # Michał Górny (2023-12-10) # Superseded by dev-python/psycopg:0 (version 3). dev-python/psycopg:2 # Andreas Sturmlechner (2023-10-21) # QtScript is deprecated since Qt 5.5, all projects must port away. # Bug 915779 dev-qt/qtscript:5 # Andreas Sturmlechner (2023-06-10) # Obsolete transitional meta package. Switch to media-libs/libpulse # which ensures a sound server is installed via PDEPEND. media-sound/pulseaudio # Sam James (2023-04-07) # Inactive upstream, doesn't support newer Rubies. # Please port your package to use dev-ruby/erubis instead. dev-ruby/erubis # Sam James (2023-04-06) # net-libs/libgsasl and net-misc/gsasl are now merged together. # Please depend on net-misc/gsasl[server] for the server and # net-misc/gsasl[client] for the client. net-libs/libgsasl virtual/gsasl # Michał Górny (2023-01-30) # The package is on keep-alive by Debian. Nevertheless, they can't # keep up with changes in dev-python/setuptools, and they do not accept # bug reports. PEP517 build systems are simply a no-go for this class # of packages (partially due to the limitations of wheel format), meson # and autotools are both much better choices. dev-python/python-distutils-extra # Sam James (2022-12-29) # Doesn't work correctly on newer kernels/hardware. Events may go unreported # if using sys-apps/edac-utils. See app-admin/rasdaemon's README for the technical # details. Please migrate to app-admin/rasdaemon instead. sys-apps/edac-utils # Matt Turner (2022-10-02) # Dummy packages, now merged into app-accessibility/at-spi2-core. # When possible, replace dependencies on these packages with a dependency on # >=app-accessibility/at-spi2-core-2.46.0 app-accessibility/at-spi2-atk dev-libs/atk # Michał Górny (2022-06-19) # Test automation tools. They are generally used to run the test suite # across multiple Python versions, i.e. what our eclasses do for you # already. They usually can't work inside network sandbox (since they # fetch and install all the dependencies inside the venv), so even # if they are listed in dependencies, your package probably does not # actually need them to run tests. dev-python/nox dev-python/tox # Sam James (2022-04-22) # Obsolete virtual. # Only one provider is left (media-libs/libjpeg-turbo), please change # dependency to that instead. virtual/jpeg # Matt Turner (2022-03-27) # Deprecated GNOME 2 era packages app-text/enchant:0 app-text/gnome-doc-utils app-text/gtkspell:2 app-text/scrollkeeper-dtd dev-cpp/gtkmm:2.4 dev-libs/libcroco dev-libs/libIDL dev-libs/libunique:1 gnome-base/libglade gnome-base/libgnomecanvas media-libs/libart_lgpl x11-libs/gtksourceview:2.0 x11-themes/gnome-icon-theme-extras x11-themes/gnome-icon-theme-symbolic x11-themes/gtk-chtheme x11-themes/gtk-engines x11-themes/gtk-engines-adwaita x11-themes/gtk-engines-candido x11-themes/gtk-engines-experience x11-themes/gtk-engines-murrine x11-themes/gtk-engines-qtpixmap x11-themes/gtk-engines-rezlooks x11-themes/gtk-engines-ubuntulooks # Andreas K.
