The bitlbee package is old, since it does not apply a late patch supplied by the bitlbee development team - the Google Talk patch. Attached ebuild does apply this patch.

Created attachment 70469 [details] A patched version of bitlbee-0.92-2.ebuild The file itself is a patched version of the old ebuild - I'm sorry, but I don't have the skills to make a .patch file.
Created attachment 70470 [details] Same, with a changed header to match the file-version.
I think it could be submitted into Portage because it works! Don't you think so?
(In reply to comment #3) > I think it could be submitted into Portage because it works! Don't you think so? Indeed, it does work as it should. I'm just wondering why no-one applies it?
Basically no one has applied it because the maintainer's job has been having him work 70-80 hour weeks recently :) I'll try to take a look at this today or tomorrow and commit it.
Oh, I see - well take your time, don't feel stressed. :)
In portage. Thanks for the ebuild! :)
