The package media-video/qdvdauthor-0.1.2-r1 is a fine application for authoring DVDs, but the ebuild for it is missing some dependencies. Qdvdauthor needs a bundle of scripts known as transvideo in order to run properly. Unfortunately, there is no ebuild for Transvideo currently, which means this dependency has to be manually downloaded, configured, and installed in order to work. In turn, transvideo requires a commandline calculator called bc in order to work properly. It seems that the best resolution would be to create an ebuild for transvideo and add it as a dependency of the qdvdauthor ebuild.

ok, media-video/videotrans-1.5.2 is in Portage now. But it has to be keyworded first for at least the same archs media-video/qdvdauthor has (that is: x86, amd64 and ppc). Then I can add it as a dependency. @archs: please add your arch. thanks!
hmpf! forgot to add archs. ;-) so once again: @archs: please add your arch. thanks!
Marked ~ppc.
thanks. Now waiting for amd64... ;-)
@amd64 herd: please test media-video/videotrans-1.5.2 and add amd64 to keywords. Two bugs depend on it. Thanks! ;-)
Okay, videotrans is ~amd64. Good software package.
have fun adding your dependency
thanks to all of you. Will do this asap. ;-)
new revision in CVS with added videotrans dependency.
