It seems packaging plugins repo provides little value to users. I am not opposing to packaging it, though, but want to see the value really. App's /plugins command, according to docs, seems to be copying plugin files to local dir, so when Portage updates the plugins, they don't get updated in user's setup. Unless user manually sets up locally activated plugins as symlinks. There's no build system, and apparently no build step at all, so no value added by Portage by saving user from going through manual building. There's no documentation of runtime deps, and each plugin obviously has its own set of deps, so there is no "right" (R)DEPEND value for this as a whole, even if maintainer was willing to put efforts in discovering the right values. So I think local "git clone" and periodic "git pull" would serve users better than Gentoo package. Please reopen if you disagree or if I'm missing something.
