Description Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

Just to clarify, the below comments refer to the "cleaned-up" 1.1-r3 ebuild...

- depends on gnome-1 stuff which is package.masked and pending removal (see Bug 154102)

- gnome, gtk and esd use flags should be replaced by just a single flag, since they are plain redundant (esd support requires USE=gtk, gtk support requires USE=gnome; oh well, don't ask me, I didn't write the ebuild :P

- As an added bonus, it disables gtk support on amd64 regardless of use flags because "gtkBitchX is broken on amd64" (Bug 61133)

- While it has two flags for gnome/gtk support, append-flags -I/usr/include/gnome-1.0 is apparently needed to be applied unconditionally in src_compile, just in case... (see Bug 147165)

- USE=ncurses gives people a nifty choice between depend or not to depend on ncurses, without any relevant configure option; will work for sure :P

- USE=cdrom gives you a "dear IRC client, please block my CDROM drive" feature, that's a definitive must-have (not kidding, see Bug 55823)

- the ebuild has a whole bunch of nifty patches, such as:

* hebrew patch which enables Hebrew unconditionally (everyone must want that)
* cjk patch that hard-enables cjk in only 193 lines (sure it doesn't need any dependency or anything like that)
* a wonderful freenode patch, which hardcodes bunch of freenode servers into the code (looks like a quality code design, actually all the networks just have hardcoded servers in there ;) )

- Despite all the sophisticated measures mentioned above, it still segfaults on amd64 (Bug 112402)

For sanity sake, please clean up this horrible thing from the tree.
