Here is an ebuild for Devil's Pie 0.14. Since last version in portage (0.10), the program has been completly rewrote, so i've dropped all previous KEYWORDS (but mine, ~x86). This version is not backward compatible at all with old XML config files, so i've also put some ewarn messages in postinst to inform users about that. If that's not enough, we could maybe think about SLOTing it (just a matter of renaming the binary and manpage).

Current version actually is 0.16, and although it was not announced on the homepage, it behaves much better than 0.14 here. Short changelog: * Fix undecorate action (Mikachu, RB) * New matcher: window class (Jonas Linde) * New actions: focus (JL), center (JL), print (Ryan Koppenhaver), close (RK). * Fix test suite (RK) * Don't segfault on invalid s-exp (Christian Krause) * Never return NULL from a matcher * Wrap X call when removing decorations with error handling Also, after discussion with other devilspie's users on forums.g.o, it appears that the README is not enough as a reference for config files syntax. So i've written a SYNTAX documentation file from what i've found in program sources (btw, the README was pointing to the sources for complete documentation).

Oh, and my SYNTAX file has been accepted upstream, so it should be available in the sources of next version.
Just for the record, I added ~amd64 to this ebuild and it builds cleanly on amd64 (and devilspie manage to match the windows I open).

the 0.16 ebuild is not correct. the deps are simply wrong. read the config.log carefully.....

> the deps are simply wrong. Yes, glib dep should be >=2.6 instead of 2.0. Anything else? > read the config.log carefully..... Oh please, i don't play guessing games... Send your fix for the mistakes you've seen, it will be much simpler. And thanks for the autoconf file, but i had the same at home already.
my reading of the configure yields these deps as a starting point: >=dev-util/intltool-0.20 sys-devel/gettext dev-lang/perl dev-perl/XML-Parser >=dev-util/pkgconfig-0.9 >=x11-libs/libwnck-0.17 >=x11-libs/gtk+-2.0.0 >=dev-libs/glib-2.6 not sure which are run-time only deps.....
also "has been completely rewritten" is the expression you probably want to use...
(In reply to comment #12) > >=dev-util/intltool-0.20 > sys-devel/gettext Right: It's non-fatal if they are missing tho, but then we lose the german locales. > dev-lang/perl > dev-perl/XML-Parser No: intltool RDEPENDs, we don't want to hardcode them here. > >=dev-util/pkgconfig-0.9 Right, although <0.9 versions disappeared from portage more than 3 years ago, so i don't think the missing version was really critical. > >=x11-libs/libwnck-0.17 Technicaly true, but since 2.10 is stable for all archs and introduces an API change, i still think it's a better minimum required version. (Otherwise, you just create more troubles for people who compile against 0.17 and later upgrade to 2.10+)
Created attachment 73049 [details] devilspie-0.16.ebuild Fixed deps thanks to Philip's comment.
Bumped, thanks.
Please correct the pkg_postinst comments to proper English. "Devil's Pie has been completly rewrote since last version in Portage" should read: "Devilspie has been completely rewritten for version 0.16 and is not backward compatible with previous versions."
