LinEAK allows the extra keys of so called "Internet Keyboards" (and other special keys) to be bound to a command. This ebuild includes the daemon lineakd and a GTK+ configuration tool lineakconfig. The KDE config tool doesn't compile from the source, so it is commented out. I suggest x11-libs/lineak. Depends on xfree (of course) and will use GTK+ if "gtk" is in the use flags. Enjoy! Pat

Created attachment 5938 [details] lineak-0.4_pre3.ebuild: updated version, includes KDE config (If I should create a new bug for this, let me know...) This ebuild has bumped the lineak version to 0.4pre3 and the klineakconfig tool to 0.5.1. klineakconfig now compiles.

perhaps it might be worth splitting this up into three seperate ebuilds. if you look at it, there's 3 different versions (one each for the daemon, the gtk frontend and the kde fronted) as well as 3 seperate names. although having them in a single ebuild seemingly makes it easier to write one ebuild, updating it for differing versions could be more problematic (what happens if kde frontend is updated but not the daemon? does that constitute a new ebuild for the whole program? or perhaps just a revision?).
have situations like you describe happened in the past ?
looking at: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=38666 it would appear so, the releases for the 3 parts aren't synchronized.
okay, seemant's allready added lineakd (the daemon) to portage. so perhaps we should add the gtk frontend, and pass the kde fronted over to the kde team to add? sound reasonable?
sounds good
I like it.
not really gnome, reassigning to the herd that manages lineakd. If someone still cares to make an ebuild for the gtk1 frontend go ahead, gnome team (obviously :/) doesn't have the time to do it & no interest in maintaining it (we have acme yeah). @ reporter, apologies for the lack of progress on this, it's an 'ever tomorrow' type-of-bug .
I've added the gtk frontend in x11-misc/lineakconfig.
Thats all good, but the ebuild you added is terrible. No offense, but it got bad mistakes which i don't expect from a dev : * IUSE - gtk isn't optional, it shouldn't be in IUSE * (R)DEPEND - It's a gtk app, where's the gtk dep ? might be missing other deps as well, did you even check ? * src_compile : the whole myconf bit isn't necessary use 'econf `use_enable nls`' that is also better becuase it actually hardcodes the switch on and off, which doesn't happen now
Ebuild fixed as per suggestions. Could someone with kde please take care of klineakconfig.
Created attachment 23942 [details] Ebuild for klineakconfig-0.5.1 the ebuild for klineakconfig. there seems to be a light trouble with finding keyboards definitions.it looks in ~/.lineakd/ and the definition file is in /etc, ./configure seems to find the good path,I don t understand where does the problem come from. also, I noticed some instability with my laptop special keys( keyboard hang ).
I noticed that there was anothers work in progress on klineakconfig, it's bug n

Thanks for your effort any, Minati.
