Bug 733834 – www-client/odysseus new package request

• Status: UNCONFIRMED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Dion Moult 2020-07-25 06:35:28 UTC]

I made an ebuild for Odysseus. It's an indie browser: https://github.com/alcinnz/Odysseus https://odysseus.adrian.geek.nz

The ebuild depends on appstream having vala support, reported here: https://bugs.gentoo.org/733768

In addition, it assumes valac is in the path. I think gentoo does something where vala is installed with a suffix.

I hope somebody can help offer some advice on how to make this 100% work.

Reproducible: Always

Use MY_PN and S variable to remove the need for src_unpack.

Create symlink to a more convenient binary name of "odysseus" instead of "com.github.alcinnz.odysseus"

The vala eclass and #gentoo-dev-help on IRC may be able to help.
