Description Paulo J. Matos 2007-11-23 21:43:57 UTC
SimDock is an eye-candy dock bar for Linux. It is fast and fully customizable. Fits well in Gnome but works on most desktop environments. Does not require Compiz nor 3D acceleration.

Reproducible: Always

Maybe you could at least post the URL.
Comment 2 Paulo J. Matos 2007-11-23 22:56:06 UTC

This ebuild was quite trivial. Installs fine for me.

a fast dock for gnome

I have add the rest of the keyword for masking reason and unmask x86 becasue it runs stable i would like to maintain these ebuild
Comment 5 Christoph Brill (egore) (RESIGNED) 2008-01-08 18:38:12 UTC
James:
A developer should only add keywords he tested a software on. And an ebuild will never go with stable keywords into the tree.
Comment 6 James Johnson 2008-01-18 02:01:56 UTC
i tested the ebuild on x86 system i have been runing simdock for a few mouths now with out any problems

simdock-1.2.ebuild

Here's an ebuild I've whipped together. simdock has some problems like a broken build system wrt cflags and the .desktop is invalid. Will have a patch for the .desktop in a moment, and a probably a horribly wrong patch for the cflag issue...

simdock-1.2-cflags.patch

The worst patch ever :P All I could think of besides rewriting the file...
Comment 11 Marek Szuba (RETIRED) archtester gentoo-dev 2016-09-05 12:46:38 UTC
The original upstream was officially abandoned by its developer in October 2011. There is, however, an active fork - complete with its own ebuild:

https://github.com/onli/overlay/tree/master/x11-misc/simdock/

If there is still user demand for adding simdock to Portage? If so, I would suggest getting in touch with the current upstream developer to coordinate efforts with him. Perhaps they would even be interested in becoming the proxied maintainer [1] of this package? Keep us updated!

If this bug remains silent without further comments for 30 days i will close it with the resolution of WONTFIX. Beyond that the bug can always be reopened to get this package back on track for the Gentoo Portage tree.
