After the compilation of amaya repeatedly exceeded the limits of my patience, I've created a multilingual ebuild based on its ready-to-go RPM distribution (see the ChangeLog).
Created attachment 148202 [details] RPM-based binary ebuild for amaya with LINGUAS support Don't forget to set LINGUAS in /etc/make.conf to suit your preferences.
Created attachment 148203 [details] Initial ChangeLog for amaya-bin
Created attachment 148205 [details] Manifest for amaya-bin-9.55.2 Including digests for German.tgz and Spanish.tgz.
We do only include binary packages, when only available in this form or upstream provides binaries and there's a sufficient reason to use them, like long compile times. Amaya itself has been punted (bug 129874), as no maintainer could be found, so there is no reason to revive it.
(In reply to comment #4) No wonder. A maintainer would have a hard time with Amaya. I prefer compiling even OpenOffice myself, hence I've tried to build three different releases from Amaya's 8.* and 9.* series with no luck. They seem to rearrange the build structure constantly; the only dependencies that worked for me were Gentoo's own libraries. So, by opening this bug, I've merely thought that an ebuild for a binary install (which has the same legitimation in my opinion as, say, mozilla-sunbird-bin) could be helpful to people willing to give Amaya a try. Amaya is, in itself, an interesting browser-editor for HTML--and the World Wide Web Consortium's official platform by the way.
