Description Olivier Rolland 2006-02-11 10:49:54 UTC
Hi !

Please find attached a preliminary ebuild for freeplayer-20050905, an init script and an environment settings file. The ebuild should be put in media-tv/freeplayer.

Freeplayer is a software which can only be useful to french internet users subscribed to the french internet provider Free. It transforms the modem (called the Freebox) into a media box which plays video, audio or image files on your hard drive on a TV screen.

Freeplayer est une solution logicielle gratuite qui transforme
votre Freebox en plate-forme multim

1/ Ebuild description must be in English. 
2/ Better to use built_with_use with -a flag and save a lot of bloat in the ebuild and also frustration for the users who keep adding flag one by one and recompiling the other ebuild over and over again, only to fail again on the next check for yet another use flag.

Comment 9 Olivier Rolland 2006-02-27 11:42:20 UTC
Same as 20050905 except that the freeplayer user and the freeplayer group are created instead of the vlc user in the users group. /home/freeplayer is writeable to any user belonging to the freeplayer group. All playlists could then be placed here.
Comment 10 N_Ox 2006-12-26 16:22:39 UTC
Should not the description be on one single line?
Comment 11 Bertrand Jacquin 2007-04-25 21:02:18 UTC
could be ~amd64 :)

Just a strange thing :

[…]

/usr/share
/usr/share/doc

docinto /opt/${PN}/share/doc is not really necessary.

Comment 15 kundarsa@gmail.com 2016-04-21 09:23:22 UTC
While this is still a viable package for the Gentoo Portage tree it appears this ebuild is lacking in community interest. If you (or another user) are still wanting this to make it into the Portage tree please let us know! It would be additionally helpful (but not required) if you were willing to help out with the package by becoming it's proxied maintainer; you have already done most of the work for this task. Gentoo even has a dedicated team[1] for assisting users in becoming proxied maintainers. If you are interested in maintaining this package, please contact proxy-maint@gentoo.org or join #gentoo-proxy-maint on Freenode IRC.

A quick glance at the ebuild shows some issues that meat the criteria for closing this request.

Major: The submitted ebuild has a RDEPEND of a specific vlc version that can not be satisfied.
RDEPEND=">=media-video/vlc-0.8.6b"

Minor: The homepage in the ebuild appears to have moved to:
https://manned.org/freeplayer

These corrections (and perhaps others) will need to made before this package can move forward.

This bug can always be reopened to get this package back on track for the Gentoo Portage tree.
