Hi!
This is a new ebuild of hackedbox a very minimalist window manager it can be
useful to people which have a old machine and need something better that twm. It
can be added to x11-wm/hackedbox. 
This dont include commonbox options but if it will necessary it can be added.

This package includes the epist binary which is also provided in openbox (2.x series), I'm not sure how to proceed in this case. I'm sorry for the delay on this package, the old commonbox maintainer is no longer available and I am picking up the pieces.

In my opinion the commonbox only work fine with fluxbox ebuilds.
Hackedbox is a really minimalist window manager and most of commonbox goals dont work fine with hackedbox.
The latest openbox ebuilds dont support commonbox too. So in my opinion hackedbox should remain basic like blackbox window manager

This is all true, but it doesnt solve the problem. I agree that hackedbox should not use the commonbox eclass. The latest Openbox ebuilds are not part of commonbox because it has been completely rewritten and is no longer derived from blackbox. The problem with hackedbox is that is provides epist. The current stable release of openbox also provides epist. IMO this conflict must in someway be resolved before hackedbox is committed. This could be as simple as a block, but that is ugly and I would like a better solution.

Ok, sorry for the delay im working on another solution

[Comment 8 Brandon Hale (RETIRED) 2003-12-06 07:49:00 UTC]

Sorry I hadnt mentioned this before, it's bugday and I'm looking back at unresolved bugs. I did write an ebuild for hackedbox w/ the commonbox stuff, only to realize that it doesnt build with gcc 3.x :(
Doesnt look like there has been a release since, if you could dig up a patch I will gladly look at this again.

Thanks,

Still no word upstream, please reopen this if the issue is fixed or you come up with a patch.
