gift-ares-0.3.0 has been released. just renamed gift-ares-0.2.2.ebuild and took out the line that says epatch ${FILESDIR}/${P}-gentoo.patch because lib/as_ares.c already has { AS_USER_NAME, "main/username", AS_CONF_STR, {0},NULL, NULL }, works fine for me
I installed it, tested it, and downloaded through it. Now in cvs, thank you!
