[Comment 3 Milton YATES 2005-12-31 20:48:15 UTC]

libvortex 0.8.8 is out, new TLS and SASL profiles support added.

This ebuild depends on libgsasl >= 0.2.5, portage is still in 0.2.4, and the 0.2.10 is out. I will file a seperate bug on this. Still this ebuild can be used with USE=-sasl

I'd like to lobby include this library in portage under net-libs/libvortex.
They are maintaining current ebuilds alongside the main library over at sourceforge:
 
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=145682

There should be no confusion with BEEP, the defunct music player -- libvortex is a network development toolkit implementing the Block Extensible Exchange Protocol ("BEEP") meta-protocol in c.  Current stable version appears to be 0.8.10.

Again, net-libs/libvortext.  ~x86 is ok here.

[Comment 6 Milton YATES 2006-03-20 04:49:06 UTC]

I am the one maintaining the ebuilds for libvortex on their website. You can find the update of the ebuild posted here for the latest version of the lib 0.8.10 on the project page at sf.net, or on the official website http://vortex.aspl.es/
It runs well (at least) on both x86 and amd64.

I would appreciate both comments on the ebuild or a portage inclusion :)

Milton,

I notice development work on beepcore-c has been been discontinued, leaving libvortex, as far as I know, as the only actively developed c-implementation for BEEP.

Philip,

Yes, as far as I know, libvortex IS the only BEEP implementation in C still alive. It is actively maintained and evolves nicely. Developers are reactive and I think Gentoo should support this kind of project.

(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.
