Add my vote to get this into the tree. Although Gentoo ebuild maintainers for some reason always want releases rather then CVS/Subversion/Git stuff. I prefer the later. Also heard of spectacular blazing speed results using KMSCON over the kernel's console, even without using the DRM. Ehm... there are already tagged releases available: https://github.com/dvdhrm/kmscon/tags A lack of releases is not a problem for getting something into the portage tree. However, before this can happen, someone has to actually create an ebuild for this. maybe a developer could create an ebuild Created attachment 321780 [details]

kmscon-3-flags.patch
does not compile with gcc:4.5 (but with 4.6 and 4.7) and I don't see anything when I start it no matter what useflags or cli options I use kmscon-4 is out. also broken? kmscon-6 is out. Looks like the author has fixed the build system too. I'm seemingly getting a good compile (with warnings). I'm just missing the kmscon binary -- and "./configure --enable-debug --enable-kmscon" seems to be missing "xno: command not found". (Likely very easy to figure-out.)

(Likely very easy to figure-out.) that sounds like a broken build system, not a fixed one and indicates that he didn't even compile that release also, I don't seee kmscon-6 anywhere (In reply to comment #11) I've responded privately to this post as I considered it somewhat off-topic. (In reply to comment #12) > (In reply to comment #11) > > I've responded privately to this post as I considered it somewhat off-topic. respond here. I posted to the kmscon's issue git page about the configure/compile time issues. Also, there seems to be currently no existing Gentoo ebuild for x11-libs/libxkbcommon. There used to be ebuilds at zugaina and benf overlays, but no more for some reason. libxkbcommon is a depend for kmscon. I should also add, the author of kmscon has made changes today concerning these configure/compile time issues, but I'm lacking the x11-libs/libxkbcommon to further test, besides using further Git versions.
