Please, attach ebuilds as text/plain next time. I'll have a look at this
tomorrow, if noone takes it.

The ebuild can be improved greatly:
1. There are ebuild headers missing from the ebuild. Read Common Ebuild Errors document on gentoo.org
2. Why RESTRICT="nomirror" ?
3. Why renaming the script in src_unpack(), when you can just do "newbin name newname" ?
4. if you did S=${WORKDIR}, you would save extra cd ${WORKDIR} in src_install(), and src_unpack() could be omitted (if my point 3. is heeded)

Do not be afraid to ask if you need help with this.

Also, new ebuilds _always_ need to be marked ~arch in KEYWORDS for architectures you tested it on.

still seems to be there just without maintainer for gentoo. if you want to maintain it yourself, feel free to reopen and join project sunrise, details here:
