Hi, attached you'll find mozilla-mycroft.tar.gz containing mozilla-mycroft-20021227.ebuild and an initial ChangeLog for it. The mycroft project provides numerous search plugins (aka Sherlock plugins) that add the functionality of searching e.g. freshmeat/google-groups/... to the search sidebar of mozilla. The ebuild simply downloads a .tar.gz containing all plugins provided by mycroft and installs them to /usr/lib/mozilla/searchplugins. There might be a problem with the version name of the ebuild... It seems like the mycroft people update a .tar.gz every now and then at the same URL. Renaming the ebuild to -cvs wouldn't be correct though, as the ebuild doesn't 'cvs co' the current cvs tree. Also, I'd prefer a snapshot based ebuild over a "live" ebuild. Long story short... Seems like it'll be neccessary to include the current snapshot (2002-12-27 according to the mycroft site) in the distfiles directory (or wherever such snapshots go). I haven't found any copyright notice... According to http://www.mozdev.org/copyright.html mycroft must be under MPL then. I'd prefer net-www/mozilla-mycroft over x11-plugins/mozilla-mycroft (netscape-flash is a plugin, too, but also resides in net-www). Regards, Rene
