I wrote an ebuild for a desktop manager for Gnome2 I wrote some time ago. Perhaps people think it's usefull an could be in gentoo. Read docs and ebuild for more information. Homepage is in planing status.
Created attachment 24949 [details] grootevent ebuild file
Seems a little early in development to me. There is no version number anywhere in this bugreport. hints for the ebuild : * The ebuild should probably use the gnome2 eclass * DEPS need to be exactly defined (this is too generic) * DEPS are in the form <cat>/<pack> * pkg_* stuff should be done in the makefile (? obz)
* The ebuild should probably use the gnome2 eclass Hm, what is gnome2 eclas? * DEPS need to be exactly defined (this is too generic) Why? It simply needs gtk2 and libxml2. Why is this too generic? * DEPS are in the form <cat>/<pack> Ok, I'll do this. * pkg_* stuff should be done in the makefile (? obz) This is also in the Makefile, if you don't use the configure option "--disable-dtd". I needed to do this because of sandbox violation. xmlcatalog need direct access to the /etc/ filesystem to insert the xml catalog. I've done this ebuild primary for myself. If you think it's too early to insert it in cvs, then I'll provide the ebuild in the package and write a gentoo bugreport again some time in future.
I think there's documentation on eclasses in the docs section (?) It's sort of a common script part used to take care of common functionality in ebuilds. Check any of the gnome2 related ebuilds to see it in the works. I'm not a big fan of circumventing the gentoo config file safeguards, if it can be done in another way i would prefer it. I'm not sure that it is feasible here, maybe obz can make some comment on that ? In general i'd say that it's a bit early for this pack to be maintained in the tree, with just two releases. We'll just leave it's priority low and evaluate it in time again. For now I suggest you just put up a (fixed) ebuild on the homepage for gentoo users to use in their overlay.
There hasn't been a release since the previous comments, closing for now.
