Description Tim Burrell 2004-03-11 10:19:57 UTC
From the Elmo web site:

Current versions: (obsolete - 0.8.3) (stable - 1.1.0)
last updated: 29-1-2004 7:52

Notice that 0.8.3 is marked as obsolete.

The latest version in the portage tree 0.6,
The current version is 0.5.

Elmo is very cool!

Reproducible: Always

New ebuild for gpgme 0.4.3 which is required by elmo

ebuild for elmo stable.

Note that gpgme-4.x creates /usr/bin/gpgme4-config.

Elmo requires /usr/bin/gpgme-config in order to enable GPG support.

My (lame) solution was to:

rm /usr/bin/gpgme-config
ln -s /usr/bin/gpgme4-config /usr/bin/gpgme-config

This works, but there is obviously a better solution.
Comment 3 Tim Burrell 2004-03-11 11:10:19 UTC
There appears to be a problem with Elmo 1.1.0, and gpgme-0.4.3.

Currently elmo 1.1.0 only compiles without GPG support.

I have contacted the authors, and will update when a solution is found.
Comment 4 Tim Burrell 2004-03-12 06:42:40 UTC
I created a patch for the Elmo 1.1.0 base to make
it gentoo compatible.  It has been accepted by
the authors, and will be included in the next release.

When the next release becomes available I will
update this bug with the appropriate ebuilds.

Fixed dependency and USE flags for gpgme (which requires a new
version in portage, see above attachment), and also for ssl.

I've added 1.3.1 to CVS, please test and report back to Bug #47205.
