I tried to emerge zapping 0.6.6 and it crashed complaining about a missing esd.h After emerging esound the problem was solved, the dependencies should be extended.
The bug is nearly one year old and nobody wants to add the single line into the ebuild - you made the last changes at zapping, maybe you could close the bug? Thanks!
This package obviously needs some maintainer, re-assigned.
Version 0.6.6 is very ancient (2003 ancient) and doesn't even seem to compile anymore. A lot of code has changed compared to the most recent compilable version, 0.7, to be worth backporting fixes. I fixed the missing dep in version 0.7. I'll stabilize it along with rte-0.5.6 in a while and remove older versions to fix this bug.
Please, stabilize something that actually compiles at least. TIA.
0.7 compiles, but I had a problem getting it to work (config files). Anyway, perhaps it is better that I shoot this back to maintainer-needed.

Created attachment 89962 [details] zapping-0.10_rc6.ebuild True, zapping versions < 0.10 are barely functional, but the 0.10 series are work very well. This ebuild works well for me. This is the newest release from zapping sourceforge. I guessed a little on renaming zapping-0.10cvs6 -> zapping-0.10_rc6. IMO, this is the best TV player I have found. It would be good to keep it in portage.
Sorry about that commented src_unpack(). You can delete that.

Created attachment 90195 [details] zapping-0.10_rc6.ebuild Done.
Ok I'm testing this out (I happened to have a TV tuner card). If it works, I'll fix up the package and close this as FIXED.
zapping-0.10_rc6 is in portage and works here
If you have any trouble please file a bug that blocks this one. Otherwise stable in 30 days so this can be closed.
Actaully I'm going to rescind this and keep it unstable since it has no maintainer; although I've tested it, keeping it in unstable shields the stable tree from what could become a broken package.
Err, then at least drop the stable keyword from a version that doesn't compile at all.
done
zapping-0.10_rc6 has been working on my machine. After I had to set it up from scratch because of a hdd-crash zapping is compiling alright, but if I start it Gnome (first 2.16 and now 2.18) crashes immediately down. I don't know why this happens and how to trace the problem... ps: and I don't know if this is the right place to write it down.
