hippo-canvas (also known as libhippocanvas) is a RedHat canvas library used in new versions of mugshot, sugar, and bigboard. I believe it will be useful to many people.

Created attachment 129652 [details, diff] hippo-canvas-0.2.23-use-python.patch Patch used by above ebuild; makes the python bindings optional (since building them pulls in pygtk and pycairo).
The hippo-canvas ebuild is now in the sunrise overlay: http://overlays.gentoo.org/svn/proj/sunrise/reviewed/x11-libs/hippo-canvas/
mugshot-1.1.46 and higher (in sunrise) uses hippo-canvas (also in sunrise).
(this is an automated message based on filtering criteria that matched this bug) 'EBUILD' is in the KEYWORDS which should mean that there is a ebuild attached to this bug. This bug is assigned to maintainer-wanted which means that it is not in the main tree. Heuristics show that no Gentoo developer has commented on your ebuild. Hello, The Gentoo Team would like to firstly thank you for your ebuild submission. We also apologize for not being able to accommodate you in a timely manner. There are simply too many new packages. Allow me to use this opportunity to introduce you to Gentoo Sunrise. The sunrise overlay[1] is a overlay for Gentoo which we allow trusted users to commit to and all users can have ebuilds reviewed by Gentoo devs for entry into the overlay. So, the sunrise team is suggesting that you look into this and submit your ebuild to the overlay where even *you* can commit to. =) Because this is a mass message, we are also asking you to be patient with us. We anticipate a large number of requests in a short time. Thanks, On behalf of the Gentoo Sunrise Team, Jeremy.

Added to tree with a version bump to 0.3.0. Thanks for the ebuild. (Did not yet remove the old version from sunrise).
