Created attachment 346708 [details] dzen-0.9.5_p20121204.ebuild dzen(2) is a minimalist system bar that is used with the likes of dwm etc, I use it for i3 myself. Version 0.8.5 is old and lacks a dedicated "-dock" option for "snapping" to the top or bottom of a workspace. Furthermore, development has moved from googlecode/svn to github. I have updated the ebuild and integrated a patch that makes the dock position configurable (taken from https://code.google.com/p/dzen/issues/detail?id=2). I've set some COMMITID to keep the ebuild stable.

Created attachment 352664 [details] dzen-0.9.5_p20121204.ebuild with customizable-dock and xft USE flags I made an ebuild for the new snapshot version with two new USE flags: xft and customizable-dock. The xft flag adds XFT support (dzen now looks really nice with termsyn!) and this requires two new dependencies: x11-libs/libXft and virtual/pkgconfig (only as DEPEND) The customizable-dock flag (if anyone can come up with a shorter one, I'll be glad - maybe the vanilla flag?) controls the patch referenced above. I switched it to be on by default. I think it's better than applying the patch always, people will get this great functionality by default and it can be disabled if they want more vanilla or have problems with it. It builds and works fine. And looks a lot better too with xft.
Created attachment 352724 [details] dzen-0.9.5_p20121204.ebuild with customizable-dock and xft USE flags and '-dock' warning I noticed that with the customizable-dock patch applied, dzen will not set the _NET_WM_STRUT property correctly (all coordinates will be 0) unless the new '-dock' option provided by the patch is used. I think this is more of a feature than a bug, so I just added a warning about this to the end of the ebuild in pkg_postinst.

I've put the version bump in. The patch should be reviewed upstream and will probably then land in a future release. Thanks for the ebuild patch, though! Bits of it ended up in the tree. :)
