    I am EXTREMELY reliant on this package (for my alarm every morning) and just now have noticed it broken right as I was about to go to bed (due to continuing to work on a VERY large system update for the new profile version from mid-2024, which has been
    taking a very very long time due to the large amount of legacy packages on my system).

    It seems to still work fine after tracking down all the old ebuild files and the workaround Maciej S. Szmigiero posted – though, my system is about 6 months out of date due to the profile migration blocking `emerge --sync`, so hopefully nothing has
    changed about this since then.

    What would be the process for maintaining it to get it in the repositories again? It seems to be a relatively simple program, so hopefully not too hard to maintain in a working state – and is also one of THE most mission-critical packages for me, so
    worth it for me to go through the effort to keep it working at any cost.
