Looks huge, from what bug report does it come?
Comment 2 pmn 2014-03-12 20:00:59 UTC
this is much better effort at cleaning up the code making it work on modern systems.

in fact, with a little hand holding perhaps, i'm willing to take over the maintance of this since i use sc quite often.

It should be better to package a concrete snapshot from github instead of using the 9999 ebuild. You can take a look to grive ebuilds as an example for doing that easily with github
Comment 8 Ian Delaney (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2015-11-07 05:55:00 UTC
Once done i can commit the fix / bump and assign you as proxy maintianer

CCing treecleaners as current version is broken and major changes are needed

> Works for me.

To expand on that: I've been playing around with sc all morning and didn't observe the issue reported here even once, even while running the tutorial as indicated.
