Created attachment 278211 [details] kde-misc/kdirstat/kdirstat-2.7.0_p20101010.ebuild The KDE3 application kdirstat:0 has gone to the obscurity of kde-sunset, and there is currently no replacement in the portage tree. Joshua Hodosh has created a port to KDE 4, for which I've written an ebuild. As far as I can tell, he labeled the sources as version 2.7.0, but hasn't distributed any tarballs (yet). So I'm building from a git snapshot, and call it version 2.7.0_p20101010 according to the date of the commit. The tarball http://martin.von-gagern.net/gentoo/kdirstat-2.7.0_p20101010.tar.bz2 was created using the following commands: $ git clone http://grumpypenguin.org/~josh/kdirstat.git $ cd kdirstat $ git archive --prefix kdirstat-2.7.0_p20101010/ \ $ 6c0a9e67421f2f2e1ca3b75d578fdd6afaeceaf6 | \ $ bzip2 > kdirstat-2.7.0_p20101010.tar.bz2
From upstream website: --- K4Dirstat got a mention that made it to Planet KDE, so it's probably time that I recap its current status. The functionality works. I18n may or may not work. Contributors have put it in the default Fedora repository and openSUSE Build Service repositories. I doubt I'll get to doing the hard part, necessary to bring the animations and percentage bars back. --- That looks still kind of incomplete, sorry... I suggest we get back to this once the app is a bit more complete again.
"UPSTREAM" sounds like a strange solution for a bug asking for a specific ebuild. I guess I'd rather have termed it "LATER", except there appears to be no such resolution state. I originally had this ebuild intended for sunrise, but people on #gentoo-sunrise told me to ask KDE guys whether they want to handle it, and people in #gentoo-kde told me to file this bug. So if you don't want it in tree, I guess I'd take it back to sunrise if you don't mind. I guess we should reopen the bug report in this case, as sunrise tracker bugs are open by default, I think.

Animations are eye candy, not worth banning an otherwise useful app for. And a large part of Gentoo packages is English only. No reason to wait for that either, particularly as an increased user base might trigger additional translations. The core functionality is there, and is worth having. Care to reconsider?
Fine with me...
This is now in the sunrise overlay. You can find it at: http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/sunrise/browser/reviewed/kde-misc/kdirstat
Adopted for the KDE team and added to the main tree. Please tell us if you would like to be proxy maintainer.
(In reply to comment #5) > Adopted for the KDE team and added to the main tree. Great, thanks! > Please tell us if you would like to be proxy maintainer. Adressing Gentoo-specific issues: sure, why not, as long as this doesn't make me responsible for fixing all upstream bugs as well. I've just read http://dev.gentoo.org/~antarus/projects/proxy-maint/ about the personal requirements, but still know little about the actual technical process. How does a proxy maintainer pass on changes to be committed?
