Description Radek Podgorny 2003-09-28 14:59:49 UTC

Hi,

just posting the ebuild for crystal X cursors. I didn't manage to find any
version info so I decided to number it by date...

Suggested place to put it is "x11-themes"...

The ebuild can be further improved to support some kind of choice which color
you want to build (take a look at the Makefile)...

OK, 
  This probably won't make you happy, but anyway. 
 
These ebuilds are not going to be committed to the portage tree: 
 
1. Theme type ebuilds don't tend to have that big of a user base. 
2. The work involved in testing the (often frequent) initial releases does
not 
warrant the number of users. 
3. They tend to go "stale" or unmaintained upstream fairly quickly after
the 
initial popularity wears off. 
 
I will be testing these ebuilds and putting them up on dev.gentoo.org/~tad
so 
that people can place them in their PORTDIR_OVERLAY directory. 
 
Thankyou for the effort that you have made in submitting these ebuilds it
is 
appreciated.

Comment 3 Troy Dack 2003-11-11 06:06:31 UTC

In addition to the previous comment I plan on creating an ebuild that contains
 a selection of cursors, these will be included in that ebuild.
