As pointed out by bug #74561, currently app-office/pointless is using a local useflag 'freetype' (which instead should be truetype). Trying to fix it up, I found out that pointless hard requires freetype, so the use flag is misplaced. Also, there're some missing flags and dependencies. The attached ebuild clean it up, making use of use_enable and use_with instead of checks with myconf variable. HTH, Diego

Please try a repoman scan on your ebuild, there are some serious problems there.

Diego: You should fix your work :-P
Created attachment 69854 [details] pointless-0.5-r1.ebuild I basically forgot of this bug entirely :P It's the oldest still open bug in my list. I've attached a little more cleaned up ebuild.. but I think all of this should simply go on maintainer-needed if Gustavo doesn't take care of this anymore :) I just touched it to cleanup the freetype useflag, and that problem is resolved anyway.
this: use debug \ || myconf="${myconf} --enable-optimisations" and this: $(use_with debug symbols) $(use_with debug warnings) should be changed to: --enable-optimisations --disable-symbols --disable-warnings --disable-profile since they are all just retarded configure options that modify CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS and nothing else (in other words, they dont do something *useful* like build in extra debug code via something like -DUSE_DEBUG_CODE) the package also uses newer autotools, so `make install DESTDIR=$D` should be used instead of `einstall` (and fix DESTDIR support if it's broken) also, update the copyright year :P
Created attachment 85188 [details] Overlay for pointless + plugins + patch I have my own overlay with ebuilds for Pointless 0.5 and I managed to have one ebuild for each Pointless plugin. My ebuild for Pointless is not as good as the one which was already attached to the bug, but you may want to take a look at the ebuilds for the plugins. I made a pointless.eclass which defines all the common stuff used in plugin installation. At first I tried to get pointless+plugins installed with a single ebuild but it's hard because of the sandbox; but having different ebuilds avoids having a big set of dependencies (e.g. the pointless-tex plugin depends on tetex but pointless itself does not need it). Also I made a small patch (pointless-0.5-title-underline.patch, included in the tarball) which adds support for disabling the red line under slide titles and changing its color. I'm sending this patch to the developers of Pointless, too. An example of its usage: =slide.set("line_width": 0) =slide This slide title does not have underline =slide.set("line_width": 3) =slide.set("line_color": "(1,1,0,1)") =slide This one has a 3-pixel yellow underline Hope this will be useful.

Diego, I know you are away, but I'll give you (or anyone else) thirty days to respond about this.
Looks like Caleb Tennis (caleb) removed it about 7 months ago.
