I was asked on irc why DirectFB2 isn't in ::gentoo and was told that it's a good idea to open a bug about it, since I already have ebuilds for it in my overlay. My understanding is that the old dev-libs/DirectFB was last-rited because it was very outdated. Since then, DirectFB2 was started as a continuation of the old DirectFB: https://www.phoronix.com/news/DirectFB2-2022 https://github.com/directfb2/DirectFB2 https://directfb2.github.io As can be seen, DirectFB2 is quite actively maintained, the last commit being 5 days ago. I have quite a few ebuilds related to DirectFB in my overlay: >Old DirectFB I keep as a fallback: https://github.com/stefan11111/stefan_overlay/tree/main/dev-libs/DirectFB >New DirectFB2: https://github.com/stefan11111/stefan_overlay/tree/main/dev-libs/DirectFB2 >Virtual I use to switch between DirectFB versions: https://github.com/stefan11111/stefan_overlay/tree/main/virtual/directfb >List of ebuilds that (optionally or unconditionally) use DirectFB: https://github.com/stefan11111/stefan_overlay/tree/main/dev-libs/DiVine https://github.com/stefan11111/stefan_overlay/tree/main/dev-libs/DirectFB-examples https://github.com/stefan11111/stefan_overlay/tree/main/dev-libs/directfb-csource https://github.com/stefan11111/stefan_overlay/tree/main/dev-libs/directfb-egl https://github.com/stefan11111/stefan_overlay/tree/main/dev-libs/directfb-eglgbm https://github.com/stefan11111/stefan_overlay/tree/main/dev-libs/directfb-eglrpi https://github.com/stefan11111/stefan_overlay/tree/main/dev-libs/directfb-gles2 https://github.com/stefan11111/stefan_overlay/tree/main/dev-libs/directfb-lirc https://github.com/stefan11111/stefan_overlay/tree/main/dev-libs/directfb-tslib https://github.com/stefan11111/stefan_overlay/tree/main/dev-libs/flux https://github.com/stefan11111/stefan_overlay/tree/main/dev-libs/fusionsound https://github.com/stefan11111/stefan_overlay/tree/main/dev-libs/lite-examples https://github.com/stefan11111/stefan_overlay/tree/main/dev-libs/lite https://github.com/stefan11111/stefan_overlay/tree/main/dev-libs/swiftshadergl-directfb https://github.com/stefan11111/stefan_overlay/tree/main/app-misc/dfbterm https://github.com/stefan11111/stefan_overlay/tree/main/app-misc/directfb-tools https://github.com/stefan11111/stefan_overlay/tree/main/app-misc/projektor https://github.com/stefan11111/stefan_overlay/blob/main/app-editors/leafpad https://github.com/stefan11111/stefan_overlay/tree/main/app-misc/gtktetris https://github.com/stefan11111/stefan_overlay/tree/main/app-misc/gtk2-perf https://github.com/stefan11111/stefan_overlay/tree/main/x11-libs/cairo (only 1.16.0) https://github.com/stefan11111/stefan_overlay/tree/main/x11-libs/gtk%2B (only in some ebuilds) https://github.com/stefan11111/stefan_overlay/tree/main/x11-libs/wxGTK (only 3.0.5.1) >Also this, which I know used to work with DirectFB, but I haven't maneged to get it to work https://github.com/stefan11111/stefan_overlay/tree/main/sys-apps/qingy
Assigning to proxy-maint and marking as 'needs info'. Submitter does not articulate desired resolution criteria. It is not clear which ebuild(s) submitter wants added to portage tree.
It should be assigned to maintainer-wanted, proxy-maint is for existing packages maintained by proxied maintainers.
