It seems to me finally hylafax was removed from portage :-(

I need this application so I installed one via layman paddymac "hylafax+"
however the init script did wasn't install.
How to write the init script for this hylafax+?

If it was removed from portage might it be in sunset?

According to [1] hylafax+ never made it into the Gentoo main tree. So I
suppose you refer to the recently removed net-misc/hylafax? You can
resurrect ebuilds of the latter from [2]. Good luck!

If you end up maintaining hylafax in an overlay of yours, please get in
touch with overlays@g.o. so we can add that overlay to the layman registry.

Best,




Sebastian
