Here is an ebuild and patch for soundconverter, so that it install's correctly. The patch modifies soundconverter's makefile, which have it's own hardcoded install paths, and we want emerge to decide where to install. It is a sound converter application for GNOME. I've tested flac, mpc, mp4 and ogg as input formats, but it should handle any format that gstreamer can play. There is a use flag for gst-plugins-lame, which is required for converting files to mp3.

I'll take this app. Did you send this patch to the upstream author?
Works fine. A GNOME menu icon would be even better. btw, 0.7.2 was released.
Some notes: - There is no lame-useflag, but we have a mp3-useflag, please use that. - gnome-python dep is missing - bump to 0.7.2 - i get the error below (don't know why) Please fix those things, then I can add it to the tree.

Created attachment 64591 [details] soundconverter-0.7.2.ebuild Corrected gnome-python dep and changed lame-useflag to mp3-useflag. Also bumped to version 0.7.2.
Comment on attachment 64591 [details] soundconverter-0.7.2.ebuild Corrected gnome-python dep and changed lame-useflag to mp3-useflag. Also bumped to version 0.7.2. I don't know whats causing that error, but I once had a problem with ogg's quality setting. Removing Soundconverter's settings from gconf database solved it.
version 0.8.0 is out, please update ebuild
Elias, you provided a patch for the Makefile, but you didn't send it to upstream (as far as I can see). This is very bad behaviour, because now we have 0.8.0, your patch fails and it still has hardcoded paths. Please provide us with a new patch and send it to the upstream devs so hopefully we don't need it any more for the next version.
Created attachment 69417 [details] soundconverter-0.8.0.ebuild I'm terribly sorry that I have not posted this earlier. I'll also send that updated patch to upstream devs righ away.
Created attachment 69418 [details, diff] makefile.patch Here is an updated patch which works with version 0.8.0.

Tested on AMD64.
In the future, please file a new bug for architecture keywording rather than adding a comment to a closed bug. Added ~amd64.
