Bug 19917 – Add pointless to portage

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Martin Ehmsen (RETIRED) 2003-04-25 03:42:05 UTC]

Could you please add pointless to portage??
It is a great presentation tool for linux, and is quiet easy to use.
The project can be found at: http://pointless.dk/

I could optionaly maintain the package, but you should know that I have never
done such a thing before... ;-)

An ebuild for pointless 0.5
I think it should go in app-office/pointless

Well i have been testing this in the last few days (very interesting software by the way). Version 0.5 is in portage now. Thanks Martin

Since pointless is in portage now, I will close this bug...
