Current version is 2.23, SRC_URI is http://www.lcdf.org/type/lcdf-typetools-${PV}.tar.gz Probably should be app-text/lcdf-typetools (akin to app-text/t1utils also at the above URL). A basic econf && emake type ebuild will be enough.

I wrote an ebuild. Actually, it is mainly a copy of app-text/t1utils. It works for me (x86) but I don't know whether it compiles on other platforms so I only added ~x86.
Just renaming works to get the newest version.

Comment on attachment 92813 [details] lcdf-typetools-2.39.ebuild version bump
Version 3.45 works with the here posted ebuild (renamed).
Thanks for the ebuild Sebastian! (you surely meant version 2.45 not 3.45 in your last post). Renamed ebuild works for 2.46. What's the reason this isn't in portage yet? Bug filed more than one and a half years ago! Minor suggestion for ebuild improvement: add tetex use flag.
ping. damn it.
Was that ping to me? I've been keeping an ebuild in my overlay¹, which is at 2.60 as of tonight. 1) git clone git://people.freedesktop.org/~cloos/overlay.git or git clone http://people.freedesktop.org/~cloos/overlay.git or access the ebuild via gitweb at: http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=users/cloos/overlay.git http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=users/cloos/overlay.git;a=blob;f=app-text/lcdf-typetools/lcdf-typetools-2.60.ebuild or attached next.

no, the ping was for fonts@gentoo.org and/or the person, that is responsible for bringing this ebuild into the portage tree. <put a flame about lazyness and 1 1/2 year old bug here>
Created attachment 112047 [details] lcdf-typetools-2.60-r1.ebuild I added (as also requested) a tetex use flag. It is compile without kpsepath support.
added 2.65 as app-text/lcdf-typetools, thanks to everybody here. @fonts : I'll be maintaining it but left fonts as fallback for the herd
