Bugzilla Bug 136496

I have written a program in python/gtk, which allows parsing the elogs (feature
of portage 2.1) in a graphical environment.

It is GPL'ed.

Details and a link to the program itself can be found here:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-465493.html

the program:
http://www.rz-berlin.mpg.de/~laurin/elogviewer

I am not familiar with bugzilla or writing ebuilds but the one I wrote works at
least locally and it is available here:
http://www.rz-berlin.mpg.de/~laurin/elogviewer-0.4.0.6.ebuild

And I suggest app-portage/elogviewer in the tree.

As it is python/gtk, it does not require compilation and is platform
independent. Hence, it should be possible to move it from ~arch to arch as soon
as portage-2.1 is arch as well.

bumped ebuild for 0.4.0.7

Created an attachment (id=89006) [details]
elogviewer-0.4.0.7.tar.bz2 as should be fetched by emerging

Created an attachment (id=89007) [details]
elogviewer-0.4.0.7.tar.bz2

It depends on python does it not?

ebuild, added python dependency

Created an attachment (id=89056) [details]
minor bug fixes in 0.4.0.7

archive updated at
http://www.fhi-berlin.mpg.de/~laurin/elogviewer-0.4.0.7.tar.bz2 to reflect
minor bug corrections

Works fine here, please include

This software needs documentation.  Currently, there is no man page and after
installing it via the attached ebuild, the following resulted:

# elogviewer --help
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/elogviewer", line 32, in ?
    os.chdir( "/var/log/portage" )
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/log/portage'

Which is not very user friendly.

Additionally, I don't see any copyright information or specific licensing in
the source code. It does state distributed under the terms of the GPL, but
which version of the GPL (any of them? or just version 2?)

This is now in the sunrise overlay. You can find soon it at:
http://gentoo-sunrise.org/svn/reviewed/app-portage/elogviewer

Oh and please test on all platforms you have, so I can add KEYWORDS, I only can
confirm x86...

I do not really see in what my emerge --info matters since I did compile python
and pygtk, but not elogviewer...  but on the other hand, it is nothing secret,
so there it is. Just a recently updated Centrino.

elogviewer-0.4.0.8

CHANGELOG
added a copy of the GPL
added short man page
added postrm and prerm functions to the filter

A temporary home for downloading is
http://www.v-li.de/temp/elogviewer-0.4.0.8.tar.bz2 now, which will be used by
the new ebuild in Sunrise.

Mathias, please contact me by email to coordinate us.  In sunrise there is a
man page provided (I think it should be section 1 not 5), which is a bit more
verbose than your version.  By the way, version number is still .7.

You should really think about creating a Sourceforge project or something
similar to have a permanent location.

elogviewer-0.4.1.tgz

CHANGELOG
0.4.1   now uses gtk.UIManager
        added shortcuts
        error redirected to stderr

the major annoyances are now corrected

(From update of attachment 99209 [details])
Added to Sunrise, will hit "reviewed" branch soon.

I updated the ebuild to support KDE (kelogviewer) and text mode (eread, a
software by dberkholz), but I will switch the latter to elogv (to be found in
bug #150733) and maybe the three authors can collaborate...

Another update in sunrise:

Splitted the ebuild again, rest see Forums.

In Portage as app-portage/elogviewer

any chances to add ~amd64 keyword?

(In reply to comment #20)
> any chances to add ~amd64 keyword?

 Open a bug and tell there you successfuly built it.  It will be assigned to me
and I will cc amd64.
