The source tarball has no version information on it whatsoever.  This must be changed by upstream before I would add this.

Also, please double-check that the app stores its settings in ~/.config/<url>/ and not ~/Choices

If you can do these things, I can add this ebuild.

[Comment 3 Anton Romanov 2006-10-06 00:21:19 UTC]

as for version info - we can just mirror such small file with version info, can't we?

[Comment 4 Jim Ramsay (lack) (RETIRED) 2006-10-06 06:52:11 UTC]

I could actually do that right in the Gentoo mirrors, but then it gets very tricky when the author releases a new version.  How would we know?  I don't think that's something I would want to commit to doing in the long term.

If you want to do this mirroring yourself somewhere, by all means go ahead, but it would be better still if you could convince the author to do this "properly".

i doubt this would have version bumped.
and if any it won't be often

[Comment 6 Jim Ramsay (lack) (RETIRED) 2007-05-15 16:39:44 UTC]

But if it's bumped even _once_ it will break things.

I have contacted upstream to see if he will release a proper versioned tarball.

The author was quick and happy to comply with my request.

Adding rox-extra/gnome-thumbnailer-0.3 to the tree.
