Recently while writing documentation, I found myself lacking for a good tool to create quick snippets and annotating them. I'm a plasma user, and didn't really find a great solution in the tree. I happened upon ksnip, which has an AppImage "fat-binary" you can download and run without installing. It really is a nice tool, and I hope to get it added to the tree. Despite its name, ksnip isn't tied to KDE, but only requires Qt and CMake to build. It has two dependent libraries (by the same author) which it uses as shared libs. https://github.com/ksnip/kColorPicker https://github.com/ksnip/kImageAnnotator I've created proof of concept ebuilds that worked here for me in a local overlay. I'm not sure if the following categories are correct, but I created them as dev-libs/kcolorpicker dev-libs/kimageannotator sys-apps/ksnip Please see attached ebuilds. Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 640148 [details] Proof-of-concept ebuild for kColorPicker
Created attachment 640150 [details] Proof-of-concept ebuild for kImageAnnotator
Created attachment 640152 [details] Proof-of-concent ebuild for ksnip
I've joined project GURU, and have added my WIP ebuilds to the guru git tree. Please disregard those attached here and refer to the overlay here https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/proj/guru.git
kde-apps/ category is exclusively meant for projects hosted on kde.org.
Right, I forgot to update here. The relevant package and deps in the guru overlay are: x11-libs/kcolorpicker x11-libs/kimageannotator x11-misc/knsip
kde-apps/spectacle in git master just gained support for x11-libs/kimageannotator, which means I would be moving this and x11-libs/kcolorpicker to Gentoo ebuild repository at some point, with you+proxy-maint as maintainers, if that sounds alright for you.
Absolutely, as long as I can get some mentorship/review along the way.
Review is a given through the proxy-maint/GitHub workflow, mentorship is something different (can happen later if you want to go that route). You can start by submitting a New Packages PR for both x11-libs/kcolorpicker and x11-libs/kimageannotator with linking back to this bug and explanation that it is required for future KDE packaging, to give it more priority over other New Package submissions that typically have to wait.
Sorry, I was away for the (long) weekend. Here's my first attempt.

May 24, 2021: Finish up version 1.9.0 <----- May 25, 2021: Start version 1.9.1 https://github.com/ksnip/ksnip
@Manfred KSnip is available in the Guru overlay at the moment, which I maintain. I cannot yet bump it to 1.9.x until I submit my PR for its in-tree deps (kcolorpicker & kimageannotator, for which I am also proxy maintainer). KSnip will need higher versions for those to build. I'll be doing that in a day or two, then it will need to be reviewed prior to getting into the tree.
(In reply to David Flogeras from comment #13) Yes, I did understand that from your git comments. No hurry intended at all! Just a happy mention about continuing progress :-) Thanks & Kind regards!
Thanks for the poke, admnd. I'll get ksnip bumped in the guru overlay as soon as I get the dep libs into the main tree.
