Created attachment 438802 [details] ebuild I have found and modified slightly an ebuild for LinuxCNC[1]. The ebuild is taken from booboo overlay[2]. It would be nice to have this package to portage. Patch is provided by the author of the ebuild. Relevant discussion -> https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-510712.html [1]http://linuxcnc.org/ [2]http://data.gpo.zugaina.org/booboo/sci-electronics/linuxcnc/
Created attachment 850030 [details] Updated ebuild I have an ebuild as well, I should fix the RDEPEND though to require <dev-python/pyopengl-3.1.6 (3.1.6 is broken ATM)
For the record, I don't mind being the LinuxCNC maintainer for Gentoo. I just wish I knew how to add a drop-down in the menu with a new category (along Internet, Accessories, etc.) called CNC. LinuxCNC currently installs into the "Accessories" menu category and it's bothering me. I've tried several combinations of modifying the .desktop files and nada.
you need to edit the *.desktop file (the one installed in /usr/share/applications)

Where can I find a Linuxcnc ebuild today? is there a plan to maintain it on an external overlay? the past sources are no present anymore.
