Description Gerold Schellstede 2017-03-16 16:06:02 UTC
Hello,

recently radiotray was removed from the tree. As a heavy user I searched for alternatives and found that there is a successor named radiotray-ng

https://github.com/ebruck/radiotray-ng

It seems that it is created by one of the developers who created the original radiotray. It is a full rewrite, but exhibits -- more or less -- the same features as the original. 

This bug is intended to ask if there is any chance that gentoo incorporates it into its tree.

Best regards

Notes:
- radiotray was removed because it depends on media-libs/gstreamer:0.10 that is deprecated for security reason.
- radiotray-ng depends on media-libs/gstreamer:1.0 so it's ok on this point.
- I've compile it myself easily so an ebuild could be done easily too.

I've added functional ebuilds for radiotray-ng.

It's working perfectly on my ~amd64 system and it's my first ebuild.
Dependencies come from cmake files and I've added gst-plugins to decode MP3 and AAC. I don't know if we need to be more restrictive on dependencies versions or slots.
