Created attachment 478334 [details, diff] proposed patch The package has been removed from gentoo with commit cdc9ca1ad230f429babfeae7e5d9d8f44068e2e0 because of bug #614304 (which I found only after it was already too late). That bug was easy to fix and I have a patch for it. Since I use kuickshow fairly often, I'm willing to maintain the package. I've attached the patch here and will provide a PR on GitHub for the updated ebuild shortly.
Noting that GCC 6 build failure was just one reason, it was also completely dead upstream with no Qt 5 port in site.
That's true. I haven't found a link to a working repository when I was looking for the "official" source code. I had to use the tarball downloaded by portage. I'm currently looking into how much work it would be to port this to KDE5 (it uses some KDE4 classes). If that works I'd put it on GitHub as well.
Good luck! I miss kuickshow too - I always preferred it over the others.
I've created a PR on GitHub (https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/5012) with 2 commits: 1) A revert of the package removal 2) The patch to fix the compile issue and an updated ebuild The source tarball is no longer on the Gentoo mirrors, but I still have a copy (dated 2010-02-12).
