Is someone working on this? 1.3.1 offers some very important features that I WANT BAD.
Me too. I'm very anxious to see 1.3.1 in portage. What are the issues with 1.3.1 that are delaying its release as an ebuild?
Jamis, I can only speak for myself... lack of time, currently. Would be nice if you could assemble a ready-to-go ebuild for celestia-1.3.1 that just has to be tested and checked in.
Created attachment 28103 [details] semi-working celestia 1.3.1 ebuld Here is a simple ebuild that applies the patches previously supplied in this thread, and installs celestia 1.3.1. Patches should be placed under the [portage-dir]/celestia/files directory. Please note that the kde patch fails to apply on my system, so I commented it out. Also, on an AMD64 system qt fails to identify itself properly, causing the build to fail. My solution was to emerge with USE="-kde" (this was also an issue with 1.3.0-r1, so I suspect it is a problem with automake's detection of the qt libraries on 64-bit platforms). In any event, it seems to work for "-kde -gnome" (x86 and amd64) and "-kde gnome" (x86) builds, FWIW.
Patrick--I hope you didn't construe my question as criticism. I can completely understand being busy, and that's no crime. I was curious as to whether there were technical issues that were delaying its release as an ebuild. And thanks for the ebuild, Jean-Michel. :)
Didn't have any problem bulding the KDE version (seems to work fine but crashes on exit on my box) - the GTK patch applied fine and gives something that seems to work on first glance. Put into portage for ~x86.
