Bugzilla Bug 157727

http://www.beryl-project.org/release/013notes.php

Need new ebuild here

They'll be in portage next week if nothing prevents that. You can currently get
them in the XEffects overlay.

Will Aquamarine and Heliodor also be added to portage next week or should I
file a separate bug?

Assuming they both build, yes they will. So no, no need for a new bug. I should
hopefully get it tomorrow for all ebuilds. However, if I don't I'm not sure
when I'll be able to get it. I'll be out of the country once again for about a
week starting tuesday.

Aquamarine will probably not make this release. You can expect it in 0.1.3.1
most likely.

Under the release notes, it says "New Decorators": Heliodor and Aquamarine, so
I assume they're out officially now. 

Also under the new "Features" page, there's working screenshots:

While aquamarine might have been released, the tarball is buggy and doesn't
allow it to build. We are trying to resolve that.

While we are at it: beryl also runs on PPC and should be keyworded accordingly.
The only problem is that you'll need xorg-server-1.1.1-r3 to avoid some
endianess problems

thanks for the confirmation that it works with ppc I'll be sure to add ~ppc to
the list of archs it runs on. As you can see I've not added it to the tree yet.
I'm sorry about that guys but packing and getting ready for heading to korea
for a week basically took longer then expected. As I'm recovering from the
jetlag I'll try and get it into the tree (without making any oh great he was
too tired to commit mistakes). It's actually quite ready for the tree, I just
need to take the ebuilds from nesl247 and ensure that they conform to the
expected tree style. If I get time tonight I might try and work some magic from
korea as well. Depends on how tired I am after the install goes (its not going
to go well today..such is life though) 

bump...me wants 0.1.3

If you want 0.1.3, use the xeffects until tsunam can put the ebuilds in the
tree. They are the same ebuilds going into portage anyways.

Sorry about the delay guys as doing it from oversea's just didn't happen with
how badly the install went. I'll be getting them in from home after work, or
possibly during lunch.

does it make sense to have a separate beryl overlay? the current xeffects
overlay is overloaded with patches which want to upgrade qt, kdelibs, gtk+,
cairo and other packages. I am sure they are good and are present there to fix
some problems, but I am just plain interested in only 8 pkgs that pertain to
beryl.

Because the official portage ebuilds are so late and xeffects wants to update
packages which I don't really want to update, there seems to be no middle path.

PS: I worked around this issue by deleting everything other than the 8 beryl
packages from xeffects overlay, but its kinda dirty and I may have broken
something doing this.

PPS: if you don't maintain xeffects overlay, I apologize in advance about
OT...:)

devsk, I maintain it, so if you want to talk about it, please contact me on IRC
(nesl247 @ irc.freenode.net , I'm in the #gentoo-xeffects channel)

Should be all hunky dory now. Poke me if anything goes horribly wrong. heliodor
is in the tree now as well.

Also, please do realize that for a week (you know..the week beryl-0.1.3 has
been out more or less) I've been out of the country for business. I really
don't appreciate being told that its really late, when a week has passed and I
just committed this on my lunch hour. It'll be in the tree within the next few
hours on the mirrors.

You don't have to sorry for delay - no one pay you for this job.

I'm happy that I'll have beryl soon.

But, I do appreciate the work you put in!! I really really do. My comment was
not meant to hurt you or complain about the delay, but about whether it makes
sense to separate out beryl from xeffects overlay because it really is
something of its own now and big enough, and not an X effect which you patch
in.

I know people don't say it much, but thank you for putting in your time. (Man,
I would hate to disrupt my lunch with something like that, I really love food!)
