guymager gui for xmount etc,

DESCRIPTION="Guymager is a fast and user friendly forensic imager."
HOMEPAGE="http://guymager.sourceforge.net/"

for now i did a test bump on  guymager-0.5.7_beta1.ebuild
guymager-0.7.3.ebuild  but havent had a run at building it yet. (it would suck if the ebuild needs rebuilt totally.) 

hopefully it proves useful....
ZeroChaos/blshkv have R/W accesses to the repo , 

I'll likely drop the repo if it's taken.

right, so your ebuild is totally broken.

The upstream does not release an archive with the source code. Instead, they provide a compiled .deb file which seems require an outdated libewf (2010) and has an outdated API. It will conflict with other tools.

So we need a totally new ebuild which would pull the source using a release TAG, an ebuild for "libguytools" and probably a patch to make it work with newer libewf API.

It seems the source code and few minor patches are available via debian:

https://packages.debian.org/jessie/guymager

We can start from here

Ok in the tree: https://code.google.com/p/pentoo/source/detail?r=6022

but the tool is broken.

It fails to run here due to some kind of memory corruption.

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=guymager;dist=unstable

so  upstream issues... , but for build time,  its /app-forensics/libewf  its missing a patch.... 

I used Clean vm to mess with these,  

I was able to build almost all the guymager libs.... just qmake each damb pro irritating... 

I nearly got a full build on the newer guymager's 

however they required "***HOTWIRING***" headers , as their isn't code for Gentoo that aligns well, perhaps for a Debian box...  , to place them in the folders for headers @ install time.... or cd corectly for header some need to use the set-ver sh 
and or opt for the alt-pro over the static pro... 

COPY/PASTE to folder....

I'm pretty sure you haven't found the right bug tracker.
