From the author's website: "RedNotebook is a Desktop Diary that makes it very easy for you to keep track of the stuff you do and the thoughts you have. This journal software helps you to write whole passages or just facts and does so in style." I'm new to ebuild writing, but there's nothing complex to this one. Reproducible: Always

(In reply to comment #1) > Created an attachment (id=177048) [edit] > rednotebook-0.4.0.ebuild > Please use mirror:// syntax for the sourceforge. There are infinitely many examples in the tree. Other than that it looks fine to me. You can also take another step and consider contacting sunrise project on #gentoo-sunrise @ FreeNode (best around evening in Europe) and reading their documentation[1][2]. And please be patient and give them some time to review. 1: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/sunrise/ 2: http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/sunrise/wiki
Created attachment 177185 [details] rednotebook-0.4.0.ebuild Changed to the mirror:// syntax for sourceforge.
Thanks for posting this ebuild. I might commit it on sunrise. First I must review it and do some fixes. JUst for the record, you dont need to specify the src_unpack function , since the one you specified is the default one. Other than that , I dont see any obvious mistakes :)

Reopening. The ebuild put into the tree is *entirely incorrect.* 1. Someone did not bother to check the correct ebuild depends 2. Nor did anyone bother to read the package's README for what's needed to run 3. The LICENSE is incorrect 4. The DESCRIPTION must be improved 5. Wrong category 1. Package explicitly states it needs: - Python (2.5) (www.python.org) - PyYaml (3.05) (www.yaml.org) - PyGTK (2.13) (www.pygtk.org) 2. It has not used WxWidgets since before .5.x. 3. It is not GPL-3, it is GPL-2, as the LICENSE in the package clearly states. 4. DESCRIPTION is completely useless; it is not at all helpful. I have a better DESCRIPTION in the ebuild I wrote myself some months ago; see below. 5. This package really should *not* be in app-misc/, but instead in x11-misc/, with the other *graphical* journal and writing-type applications. Please see the ebuild available in my devspace, which I've been maintaining for months now. I have the only correct version of .6.9; please transfer mine to the tree. - http://dev.gentoo.org/~nightmorph/misc/ebuilds/x11-misc/rednotebook/ I really am glad to have rednotebook in the tree at last, but it must be brought up to the standards of the correct ebuild I wrote myself some time ago. :)
Assigning to maintainer. Also, I offer to act as proxy-maintainer, as I closely follow upstream releases, and can report version bumps/package changes in a timely manner. If you want the help, that is. :)
Apparently I did the bump without checking all those major changes . Stupid by my side Josh, please feel free to be proxy maintainer.
