I've made a preliminary ebuild for gtranscode (a gtk interface for transcode). It's a handy (and compact!) little utility.
Created attachment 21437 [details] gtranscode 0.3 ebuild oh yeah, here it is. :)
Please look at the other ebuilds already in the portage tree and make yours look more like the rest. A reading of http://dev.gentoo.org/~liquidx/ebuildmistakes.html would probably be a good starting point as well. Thanks.
Funny, I looked at liquidx's page, and I can't see any of the problems he brings up in my ebuild. Would you care to comment exactly what you're concerned about, since I just used the skeleton ebuild? If that base ebuild is not properly structured, than perhaps a better base ebuild should be put into portage.

Ahhh, right, stripping the comments out. I never do that for my own ebuild, though, because the comments remind me about what I'm supposed to be doing. ;) However, the doexec suggestion is a good idea, I just forgot about it since I threw together the ebuild in about 5 minutes. It's not like it was a particularly complicated program to compile or install. ;)

Created attachment 22862 [details] New gtranscode ebuild Just stumbled over this bug. Attached the comment-stripped, doexe - version of the ebuild. Cheers, Tobias
Created attachment 44058 [details] gtranscode-0.3.ebuild.diff There where dependecies missing and unused USE flages declared. Should be fixed now. kai
Is in the tree now. kai
