Newer version of roxterm. Main headline (that I was concerned about) is it now depends on x11-libs/vte:2.9.1 (which will help with #538140). Reproducible: Always

This package lacks a maintainer now... would you like to proxy maintain it? :) https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Proxy_Maintainers Thanks!

I've had a quick read of the wiki page and I'd be delighted to - I always have wanted to get more involved and this will be a good first step.
Nice to know, I will CC proxy-maint people then :) Thanks!
The shebang of the python script to work this package is mscript.py "#!/usr/bin/env python3" making it python3 only. The script of 2.9.3 has plain python. Emerging using python2 cause it to fail with "python3 is not supported by python2.7" Means python2_7 need be removed from PYTHON_COMPAT, setting a proper slot for glib and the deps could be indented to the usual 2 tab spaces. On submitting these minor changes I can add it to portage
Created attachment 413200 [details] roxterm-3.1.5.ebuild Thanks Ian - made the changes as requested. If the 2 tab's within the DEPEND strings is the new norm/standard, can I suggest the https://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/file-format/ page be updated to clarify?

Oddly the edit I'd make on that page is shifting Each tab represents four spaces to Each tab represents ten spaces. The convention to use 2 tab space appears to have forged its own path of legitimacy. I might check with some others if this warrants changing. I've taken the liberty of making the edited ebuild set with SLOT="1". versions 2.n are py2 compatible. versions 3.n are py3 compatible. Within the python herd these typically are slotted to distinguish the compatibility with the python impl. commit e39b5a80ecea96e41e9dc49ab012451b5aefdc4d Author: Ian Delaney <idella4@gentoo.org> Date: Sun Oct 4 16:03:47 2015 +0800 x11-terms/roxterm: bump to -3.1.5 ebuild by new maintainer sourced from the gentoo bug. The version is python 3 compatible only and set SLOT value 1 Gentoo bug: #561132 Next for this package, roxterm-2.9.3-r1.ebuild needs a stable request to update the current roxterm-2.6.3.ebuild, then those prior to -2.9.3-r1 may be purged. The new -3.1.5 requires the mandatory period free of bugs before making a stable request.

Such kind of slotting makes perfect sense if all the package does is installing a bunch into pythons site-packages directory, so they can be installed simultaneously. That's not the case for roxterm, which installs files in other locations as well and therefore can't have both versions installed simultaneously. See bug #565288. I suggest you un-slot things, or add a blocker.
Very well, you need submit a patch here accordingly.
It will be better to use the concrete bug report for that new issue instead of reusing the old bug that is full of other things :/
