Hello, The Gentoo Team would like to firstly thank you for your ebuild 
submission. We also apologize for not being able to accommodate you in a timely
manner. There are simply too many new packages.

Allow me to use this opportunity to introduce you to Gentoo Sunrise. The 
sunrise overlay[1] is a overlay for Gentoo which we allow trusted users to 
commit to and all users can have ebuilds reviewed by Gentoo devs for entry 
into the overlay. So, the sunrise team is suggesting that you look into this 
and submit your ebuild to the overlay where even *you* can commit to. =)

Thanks,
On behalf of the Gentoo Sunrise Team,
Markos.

- LICENSE is wrong
- No need to set MY_PN to PN
- HOMEPAGE contains explicit PV, which is ugly to maintain when you bump it.
  Remove HOMEPAGE and let the eclass set it
- It should DEPEND (no RDEPEND) on 
  dev-perl/extutils-depend, dev-perl/extutils-pkgconfig
- the eclass would install TODO files itself, but there isn't even a TODO

Ebuild updated according to your comments.
Thanks for your review

The x11-libs/vte dependency is missing.

[Comment 6 Fabio Rossi 2011-11-02 20:22:32 UTC]

... more specifically a dep on x11-libs/vte:0 using EAPI=1

[Comment 7 Thomas Sachau 2014-12-14 13:40:08 UTC]

The ebuild in sunrise was outdated and unmaintained, so it got removed.
