Two new version have appeared since the last one present in the portage. Reproducible: Always ChangeLog says 2.2.6 is a bugfix release, so 2.2.5 could be ignored without problems.
(In reply to comment #0) March 17, 2008 - AfterStep 2.2.8 released!
*** Bug 234262 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
QA Team: This package has Nathan Mahon <gentoo.org@vaevictus.net> listed as a maintainer with the afterstep herd proxying for him. Considering that the maintainer hasn't said anything in over a year and the afterstep herd has been disbanded (so it appears), maybe this package should be moved to maintainer-needed? (I think the QA team should handle this, excuse me if I am wrong)
Vaevictus told me, he wouldn't submit ebuilds anymore, so I think you can effectively consider him as not being the maintainer anymore... But he helped me emerging 2.2.8, I've submitted the ebuild and patchfile, the portage tree is now up to 2.2.8
Not exactly... :) I don't have a means of testing currently, which is a large problem, but not one that's insurmountable for a release: I have people I could get to test for me. The biggest issue is the lack of a contact. kloeri and ka0ttic retired, i believe, and he was my only herd contact. if there are more herd members, i'm not aware of them, and this is the central issue to my lack of response. I'd be happy to continue "doing the work" if i had a contact to do submissions and such for me.

I'm also interested in updating my afterstep 2.2.4 to 2.2.8 could I use for this task the ebuild and patch from http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=234262 ?
Yes you can, Vae did that so that I can use 2.2.8 and I thought it would be nice of me to share it. I am using 2.2.8 on my gentoo 2008.0 x86 machine with no problems so far.

I'm trying to install it from overlay and get the following error about patchfile: ========================================== missing header for unified diff at line 3 of patch can't find file to patch at input line 3 Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

Created attachment 164325 [details] ebuild to install afterstep-2.2.8 fro overlay
Created attachment 164326 [details] patches for afterstep-2.2.8.ebuild
Comment on attachment 164326 [details] patches for afterstep-2.2.8.ebuild To install AfterStep 2.2.8 you should do the following: 1. Declare local portage overlay in /etc/make.conf 2. Create the directory: # mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/x11-wm/afterstep and copy the ebuild. 3. #cd /usr/local/portage/x11-wm/afterstep and unpach the patches archive: # tar jxf /path/to/download/dir/afterstep-2.2.8_files.tar.bz2 4. Generate the manifest: # ebuild afterstep-2.2.8.ebuild manifest and now you can simply emerge afterstep.
Created attachment 165610 [details] ebuild for 2.2.8 patch only... other changes (defaulting to aterm?) not necessary
Created attachment 165611 [details, diff] the replacement no-alternatives patch the old patch won't fix the current Makefile.in
hey gentoofan23, I saw you talking in irc about this. Would you like to step up and be the new proxy maintainer?
With the ebuild of 2.2.8 with the patches, I don't see the /usr/bin/afterstep getting generated. No other errors when building.

Afterstep is close to my still favourite WM WindowMaker, so I'll lend a hand here. Bumped to 2.2.9 in-tree with a few cleanups, hope I did not break everything Thanks everyone!
