Hi, I made an ebuild for kblticker-0.2.1, its the Bloglines notifier for KDE .. I've only had a chance to test it with KDE 3.4.1 on amd64 .. so any other testers are welcome, I have the ebuild marked amd64 because it seems to work for me, but if this is going to get added to portage, feel free to toss it to ~amd64, I'm unsure what the default keywords should be on it so I set "amd64 ~x86". Please let me know if there is something I need to do that I possibly missed to make this an official ebuild. Thanks

NO tarballs, please. See http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml?part=2&chap=3#doc_chap2 Just to remind you, we also don't need manifests, changelogs and digests. Reopen once you have attached a plaintext ebuild.

here they are, split up, the ebuild and the one file it needs, a patch (now I'm not a kde programmer, so for all I know this patch is not needed on earlier kde .. I'm assuming the writer had this working in some version of kde)
Usually we try to stay away from packages that do not have active maintainership, they cause a lot of troubles...
by that you mean on gentoo side or on the source side?
I supose .. looking back at the project it does seem somewhat dead, but it does work prety well right now atleast .. this app is a real boon to anyone using bloglines since it has windows and mac counterparts. Except for the tiny 1 line patch it did seem to survive migrating to kde 3.4, even if it stays ~x86 ~amd64 I think the presence of this package would be quite helpfull as I figure having people manually have to configure/make/make install things should be discouraged.
oh and this package is also one of its kind for kde (there does seem to be a gnome applet that does the same thing, but that's about it) If it comes down to it, I offer myself to maintain the ebuild, since I am running Gentoo as a desktop so I use this app. I have lots to learn about maintaining packages tho .. =)
According to the sourceforge's page, this project seems to be dead - there are open bugs with 3 years and the latest version was released 3 years ago: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=104062&atid=636847 http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=104062 Is there still any interest on this? Should it be moved to sunrise if anyone cares , should it be closed or should it continue to rot in here?
