    Hi,

    The following package is in need of a new maintainer:

    x11-misc/synergy

    It is currently two versions behind. It's been "enterprise quality" for
    quite some time, and I don't have the patience to keep packaging it.
    The newest releases feature a dependency on pugixml bundled as git
    submodule (which obviously doesn't work on top of GH archive). I've
    submitted a patch to support bundled against system library [1] back
    in November but upstream never bothered replying.

    Note that we have x11-misc/barrier, which is an fork of Synergy. It is
    actively developed, as far as I can tell, and works for me very well.

    Oh, nice. If I ever have to use it again, I'll be sure to give it
    a try. That is, if I don't forget about it.
