Tested by simply bumping the old jbidwatcher-0.9.7.ebuild to jbidwatcher-0.9.7.1.ebuild. Aside from tar complaining about "A lone zero block at 3317" it works without any problems. The changelog says 0.9.7 is broken because of format changes at eBay, please update as soon as possible.
you can take (over maintaining) the package if you want it
From the info window of jbidwatcher: There is a new version available! The new version is 0.9.7.1 Upgrading is Required The URL is http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3914&release_id=341751 JBidwatcher 0.9.7.1 is an emergency bugfix release to solve two main problems; the first is that eBay changed their format slightly, and broke JBidwatcher's ability to load and update auctions. The second is that the 'Buy' operation was uncancellable. The rest are minor details, like making the Windows version work a little better. There are more details at the www.jbidwatcher.com site. Good luck with your auctions!
