An ebuild for the Pixel image editor is needed. I'll create one if I find the time/motivation, otherwise attach your ebuild here. :)
I don't think this has much chance of getting into portage in it's current state. - The only download available is a self extracting, graphical installer. - According to a Gentoo user on Pixel's forums, Pixel was disabled after an upgrade to baselayout and required him to obtain a new licence!
I just released new Pixel demo and it is available in .tar.bz2 format also: Download link is here: http://www.kanzelsberger.com/download.php?id=a1176b46c601924fc7c85ac8bd4e2e96 Dependencies: libSDL and libfreetype are required. Enhance packages: lcms, cups, jasper, dcraw and sane-backends will enhance Pixel functionality when installed.

Could be days, months or years.

Tristan was being a bit sarcastic, but it could take a while. If I were a betting man, I don't imagine any of the pre-releases making it into portage, unless the demand for it comes from the community. And while newer resleases will be made, they will conitinue to be updated here by the people who use them. There are quite a few ebuilds in the bugzilla that are still haven't made it to the portage tree yet because there isn't a demand for the application and thus not enough people to test the ebuild or the program.
QA Notice: the following files contain executable stacks Files with executable stacks will not work properly (or at all!) on some architectures/operating systems. A bug should be filed at http://bugs.gentoo.org/ to make sure the file is fixed. For more information, see http://hardened.gentoo.org/gnu-stack.xml Please include this file in your report: /var/tmp/portage/pixel-demo-524/temp/scanelf-execstack.log "RWX --- --- opt/Pixel/pixel" # cat /var/tmp/portage/pixel-demo-524/temp/scanelf-execstack.log RWX --- --- work/Pixel/pixel RWX --- --- image/opt/Pixel/pixel Pavel: Any chance you'll release the source as F/OSS? The chances of pixel making it into Gentoo (and other distros) would be much higher. =)
Created attachment 103024 [details] pixel-demo-560.ebuild Updated for build 560, since build 524 is not available on server anymore. Added spellcheck and openexr USE flags.
Created attachment 104849 [details] update 560 ebuild There was a small typo in the existing 560 ebuild (hadn't removed " before adding new use flag). BTW I'd like to see this make portage :-) Cheers, Alan.

sorry - got a server error on the first submit - so it should probably be killed. Cheers, Alan.
Finally , adjustment layers :-) I also would like to see pixel in portage!
I've put a request on the forum to add this to portage: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-3859952.html I hope lots of people will support this question and buy the software, so that it will appear in the portage tree, people buy this progam and Pavel can find the necessary resources to continue developing :-) Steven
Would love to see this Portage too. How about adding this to the Sunrise overlay for the time being (until it gets into Portage)?
+1 support to get this into sunrise at least, has anyone volunteered for maint?
Created attachment 130770 [details] media-gfx/pixel-demo/pixel-demo-1.0_beta6.ebuild Refactored ebuild - since different build numbers represent the same release on different platforms, altered ebuild to reflect this, changed 'spellcheck' USE flag to existing 'spell' flag.
Created attachment 130771 [details] media-gfx/pixel-demo/pixel-demo-1.0_beta7.ebuild This is an interim ebuild - as beta7 has not been released for amd64 I have removed the SRC_URI and KEYWORD for that architecture so that x86 can grab it now if they want. These ebuilds also contain additional einfos and ewarns.
Created attachment 130773 [details] media-gfx/pixel-demo/pixel-demo-1.0_beta6.ebuild Forgot amd64 keyword. Also note, fetch restrictions are now enabled since the vendor has moved to session-based downloads.
Created attachment 130779 [details] media-gfx/pixel/pixel-1.0_beta6.ebuild And the full version ebuild for beta6. I'll be writing some new ebuilds to provide libsane, libIlmImf and libaspell in an emul-linux-x86 package sometime in the next few days, and adding the relevant deps for this arch to the above ebuilds. If anyone else feels like tackling PPC, please feel free.

(In reply to comment #22) > Current beta7 ebuild is broken. Here is the output from my emerge: That because the ebuild downloads the file with a binary installer. Which is no good. I uploaded working ebuilds for media-gfx/pixel-demo-1.0_beta7.ebuild and media-gfx/pixel-1.0_beta7.ebuild only one or another can be installed at one time since they are blockers for each other since they both install to the same folder. ----------- When dowloading file for x86 you need to download pixeldemo-1.0.699-linux-nosetup.x86.tar.bz2 NOT pixeldemo-1.0.699-linux.x86.tar.gz *********** for pixeldemo x86 64bit just follow the standard download link for: Pixel 1.0 Beta 7 699 x86 64bit Linux 2007-09-15 ----------- For pixel-1.0_beta7 the download procedure is a bit complicated.

I must say that I regret having given Pavel my money all those years ago, but I digress, and this is not the correct forum for these thoughts. Carry on.
