they should get some decent hosting, website is down due to bandwidt limitations.
How stable is it? Has it crashed for you at all? Is it really worth using over say, gedit or gvim? Can you create an ebuild for it? Is it mature? Sorry, just needinfo
Leafpad is similar to Notepad for windows. It is small, light, and very fast. It starts almost instantly when opening a file. Furthermore, it does not depend on any gnome libraries (as GEdit does), which makes it ideal for use in lighter environments like XFCE.
maybe this is more something for desktop-misc herd to take up and maintain...
Created an attachment (id=44366) [edit] ebuild for leafpad 0.7.7 - may need (R)DEPEND check Here's an ebuild for leafpad 0.7.7. The homepage links to a list of patches, including one to make use of gtk+ 2.4's file chooser, but at least this patch fails. It looks very trivial to make an up to date patch, mark that as TODO. :) The homepage also states the only dependency is gtk+ 2.0, but it may not be the only one. More experienced ebuild authors may want to check (R)DEPEND on the ebuild and add the appropriate dependencies.
Created an attachment (id=44639) [edit] leafpad-0.7.7.ebuild (working w/o any patches) I have made a simple working ebuild, didnt know there is already one, maybe someone finds it useful cu
