It seems that sci-mathematics/geogebra hasn't been updated in quite a while. The current version of GeoGebra is 5.0.279.0. Please update GeoGebra in the official repositories. https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/sci-mathematics/geogebra https://www.geogebra.org/manual/en/Reference:GeoGebra_Installation#Linux
Created attachment 455774 [details] geogebra ebuild
I created a geogebra ebuild, could someone look into it, as I don't write ebuilds too often
Thank you for your contribution. LICENSE= should be one or more out of ls /usr/portage/licenses/ on your system. They use a strange license model: The tar ball is bundled with Oracle Java for no good reason. One has to look at it in detail, but I expect we are not allowed to mirror this. The installer has a proprietary license. I am not sure, where the installer is. We should live without this installer, if possible. You should run repoman -d full in the folder of your ebuild. Repoman can show you problems. It will fix the header for example. You should remove needless space and line breaks. Did the ebuild install fine on your system?
GeoGebra-Linux-Portable is a compiled version. The ebuild should be named geogebra-bin. We prefer source code based over compiled packages in the gentoo tree. Is it possible to compile geogebra on gentoo with packages from the tree, or does it depend on another build system?
Hello, I also provide a geogebra ebuild in my overlay, which looks a bit more polished: https://github.com/Keepco/gentoo-overlay-seadep/tree/master/sci-mathematics/geogebra Builds fine on my system and includes a use to use the packaged jre instead of the system one (as I can't login without using the packaged jre). Also got through `repoman -d full` I'm not too sure what I should fill into the LICENSE field, as they use both CC-BY-ND-3.0 and GPL-3 (should I just fill in both?) I'll look into a way to compile geogebra
I added a ebuild which builds Geogebra from source to my repo. It requires gradle from the java overlay and oracle's JDK to build, as the build requires javafx. Geogebra's repo also contains a script (gradlew), which downloads their own (seemingly customized) binary of gradle to use during build, but it also built with the gradle I compiled. Also, thanks for the PR!
It cannot be build from source because gradle is not in tree. Yes it should be renamed to -bin and also it has own license which is not in licenses. @jstein would you wanna be maintainer?
@amynka I tried to help, but I do not want to maintain it.
As Gradle is in the tree now I added an ebuild to my overlay which builds GeoGebra from source. By now it's just a -9999 version, as they don't tag the releases in their Github repo. Also cloning the whole repo downloads nearly 950 MB, while cloning shallowly only takes up about 12 MB.

Can you make github pull request? I could consider live ebuild :)
