There are a couple of patches that need to be made for this ebuild to work with 
the latest WindowMaker.  libPropList is no longer needed or installed.  I have 
already modified the configure script and some of the files but I am getting an 
error on the format of PLSave... As I get more worked out, I will let you know.

I haven't compiled mount.app myself in about three years.  Feel free to
make any changes you need to it to get it to work with the modern
WindowMaker code.  In fact, I wouldn't mind if you or someone else took
over maintenance of the project.  I just don't have time for it anymore,
unfortunately.

The code base should be basically stable... the fact that it hasn't
needed an update in three years attests to that.  I'm glad to hear
people are still using it.

Cheers,

Well... it looks like I am traveling down the road of updating the code... I've 
gotta give it another go.  I don't want to fall back to using the old 
libPropList code...

The original author has contacted me and said he has some free time and will be
working on this.

Another developer (L J Bayuk <[e-mail]>) has contributed
patches to make mount.app compile with the new Window Maker.  They've
been checked into the cvs repository at sourceforge.net.

A 3.0 release will be cut soon, probably this weekend.

Coming soon...

[Comment 8 Nick Hadaway 2002-12-09 01:52:04 UTC]

mountapp 3.0 is now available and is currently being added to portage.  It 
sould be available very soon on rsync mirrors.  Please test this package and 
let me know how it goes.

It will be located in x11-plugins/mountapp

[Comment 9 Nick Hadaway 2002-12-09 02:08:40 UTC]

x11-plugins/mountapp has been added to portage.
