Bug 51595 – skippy ebuild request

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description rabbitambulance 2004-05-20 16:02:02 UTC]

"Skippy is what (I think) is best described as a full-screen task-switcher for X11. It tries to provide an alternative when taskbars or regular task-switchers aren't the most efficient way of switching tasks (like when you have a lot of applications open). When activated (currently only through a hotkey), it will arrange and scale snapshots of all windows on the current desktop and it'll let you pick a window using a mouse or a keyboard. Yes, this is also what expocity and Apple's Expose do (yeah, I know, Expose does more than just this), but I don't like metacity (expocity is a 'hacked up' version of that) and I don't have a Mac."

Please look at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-howto.xml for instructions how to create ebuild files.

skippy-0.5.0-r1.ebuild

I edited skippy-0.5.0.ebuild by Roshan and added missing header, GPL-2 license,
dependencies (x11 and xft) and used ${P} in the SRC_URI.  I am a newbie at
ebuild making, so I hope I'm not creating more work for the devs.  Thanks to
all Gentoo devs and Roshan for this ebuild.

I made a few slight changes to the ebuild, take a look once it hits rsync mirrors.

Thanks. In CVS.

Just wanted to document that changing all instances of CARD32 to CARD64 (in wm.c 
skippy.c wm.h clientwin.c) makes all work right on AMD64.
