Created attachment 2235 [details] Ebuild for knewspost-1.1 This ebuild requires newspost from bug 4936
I've made a proper inheriting ebuild and committed as net-news/knewspost. (See the eclass-howto on gentoo.org for information about inheriting kde ebuilds). I also made an ebuild for the new newspost-2.0.
I can't find the knewspost ebuild. Is there something special I need to do?
*** Bug 159499 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
No idea why this got "fixed", never been commited AFAICT.
That is weird, I search for knewspost in bugzilla prior to submitting my request.
I can't install knewspost due to blocked packages (I have kdebase-meta installed). # emerge -av knewspost These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

Fixed the above error by adjusting the ebuild to DEPEND=" >=kdebase-meta-3.0 "

I updated the ebuild to point to a working source link. Unfortunately now I get a configure error: checking for KDE... configure: error: in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail. So, check this please and use another prefix! !!! ERROR: net-nntp/knewspost-1.1 failed.

If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant. !!! This ebuild is from an overlay: '/usr/local/portage'
No release upstream for ~5 years -> definitely WONTFIX.
(In reply to comment #13) > No release upstream for ~5 years -> definitely WONTFIX. > That is too bad :( Is there no way we can fix the ebuild for Knewspost?
Ok nevermind I got your point: 02/07/21 - .... Newspost version 2.0 has been released. Find it at: newspost.unixcab.org - I will work at getting my frontend to be compatible with Newspost 2.0 soon Thanks for looking into this. Source: http://www.semeniuk.net/linux/knewspost/
