[gentoo-dev] Last Rites: vmware-workstation-3.2.1

2006-10-02 Thread Chris Gianelloni
I would like to remove VMware Workstation 3.2.1 from the tree. It is growing increasingly difficult to keep this version up-to-date with security fixes. Unless someone steps up to maintain this version of the package, then I'll be removing it on October 27th. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Enginee

Hi, Pylon and I will be doing some maintenance on CVS and Subversion later this week. Thursday, October 5th, starting at 1900 UTC. During this time, CVS and Subversion will not be available. We're estimating a worst case of 4 hours at this point, but if everything goes smoothly, it should be les
