3dfm is an opengl way to visualize your filesystem, developed by students at Boston University (innolab) under gpl-2
Created attachment 17660 [details] 3dfm-1.0 ebuild package
Hehe... I left in some cruft in the ebuild from one that I cannibalized to make this one (it turned out to be quite simple). My apologies.

This appears to me to fail the two new package 'litmus tests' a) not supported upstream. i am unable to find real email adresses to developers, any sort of mailinglist, or a real website. b) not generally useful. this package seems "cool," but it doesnt seem to have a real user base beyond just checking it out. I site the number of downloads (829), and again the lack of a user mailing list. I dont mean to put this package down in anyway, I think it looks cool and I might have to play with it myself. ;) But we do look for both upstream support and a tangible userbase before adding packages to the portage tree. Feel free to submit this to a site like breakmygentoo.net, who specializes in unstable and limited interest packages, or maintain it in your local overlay. --tseng
