First version of the mentioned ebuild.

Hi!

I would like to submit this simple ebuild for the pure python package syncplay.

A great program to watch videos together with other people far away.


From the developer Homepage (syncplay.pl):

"The Syncplay Client launches a media player on your computer, connects to a Syncplay server and joins a virtual room on that server. Pauses, unpauses and seeks made within that media player instance are relayed to fellow viewers via the server to allow for these actions to be replicated by the media players of everyone else in the same virtual room. The server keeps track of where everyone is in the video so if someone joins they can be brought to the right place, and so if someone is too far ahead they can be brought back in sync."


Server and Client are both installed by this ebuild and not (yet) separated with useflags.


The needed VLC media player plugin (http://addons.videolan.org/content/show.php/Syncplay+interface+module+for+VLC?content=159160) can be installed as well by using the "vlc" useflag. Syncplay works with other players as well but only the vlc plugin is integrated in the package.

This is my first ebuild. It installs fine on my system but if there is any problem with it or if it happens to be in bad style please correct it and help me learn.

Thank you for your time.
