Description Jonas Stein gentoo-dev 2017-11-25 18:54:57 UTC
The HOMEPAGE should probably be https://sourceforge.net/projects/pornview/

but there is no 0.2.2
just pornview-0.2.0pre1.tar.gz (608.9 kB)

Has there ever been a 0.2.2 upstream?

All distributions but Gentoo have dropped the package this meanwhile
https://repology.org/metapackage/pornview/versions


EDIT: After some more research, this is not the sourceforge program. It is a personal fork by hasufell, which has the last edit in 2012.

in the ebuild from 2012:
SRC_URI="https://dev.gentoo.org/~hasufell/distfiles/${P}.tar.xz
    mirror://github/gentoo/${PN}/${P}.tar.xz"

The package should say that it is a fork, and point to the homepage of the fork.

It is unmaintained since a long time and has no dependencies. It could be, that user hasufell has been the only consumer of this package.

maybe we could simply point to the mirrors for SRC_URI :/
Comment 2 Jonas Stein gentoo-dev 2018-02-08 15:25:38 UTC
The mirror may not be the source [1]. But one could copy to devspace.
I suggest to tree clean it. 
Even its much newer fork is dead and it seems nobody wants to take care for a very simple image viewer with 16y dead upstream.

Perhaps a last rite will lead to a new maintainer, who loves this tool.
