I've recently become interested in video_entropyd. Google shows that this package existed in Portage, but it doesn't exist anymore. I cannot find any discussion about why it was removed. Does anyone know the history? I want to add it back (and maintain it), but I don't want to waste my time submitting an ebuild if it was removed for a good reason.

Thanks.

the ebuilds that once where in the tree are here -> http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/media-video/video-entropyd/?diff_format=f&hideattic=0
there youll find a reference to https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=360871

open a new bug with a current release that builds and works and maybe it gets picked up in the sunrise overlay.

good luck
