Description Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2017-02-06 09:51:07 UTC
This is dead since 2006 and relies on dead gnome libs like libgnome, libgnomeui...

Also, it seems it could be replace by, for example, app-dicts/gwaei

Thanks

app-dicts/gwaei seems to be effectively dead as well.  Perhaps this could be transitioned to Gjiten Kai <https://github.com/odrevet/gjitenkai> which seems to be actively maintained and with feature parity with the the original Gjiten?

If you want to package that one yourself, maybe a look to https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Proxy_Maintainers would help you

Thanks

I wasn't able to find any overlays with ebuilds for Gjiten Kai so I made a working, but not extensively tested, ebuild and opened bug 621070 with the new package.  I'm not sure that I'm the best candidate for being a proxy maintainer, but I'm happy to try in the interim as there doesn't appear to be a comparable replacement currently available in portage.
