Description PhobosK 2015-12-22 18:11:43 UTC

The version of LiVES in portage (=media-video/lives-1.4.6) is pretty obsolete now. There were a lot of requests for current version bump, so I did update the ebuild to current LiVES upstream version - 2.4.6

It has been tested on ~amd64 and ~x86 and compiles and works ok.

Since this ebuild hasn't been updated for long I assume there is no maintainer for it.... I can proxy maintain it... That's why I changed part of the metadata.xml for the ebuild (I am uploading it later).

Here is the ChangeLog of the ebuild with some explanations:

1. Move to EAPI 5
2. Updated HOMEPAGE, SRC_URI and LICENSE (they moved to GPL v3)
3. Added some new IUSE flags (description is in the proposed metadata.xml) that reflect all the necessary and recommended libs, apps etc 
4. Altered/Fixed all dependencies as needed by the new LiVES version
5. Removed Python 2.x fixes of scripts, since now they have versions for both 2.x and 3.x
6. The src_configure() part may seem strange, but it is because the configure.ac procedures of LiVES are not well written and they only have a --disable-X part... i.e. any use of use_enable actually triggers a --disable-X option :S
7. Removed symlinking hack in src_install() since it is not needed anymore
8. Updated description of the new flags in metadata.xml

I hope this would be accepted for adding to portage tree... 

Thanks

Reproducible: Always

Hello PhoboSK, it's great you wish to proxy maintain the package! Can you please get in touch with the proxy maintenance team via irc? They are very friendly! :)

However, I think we don't need to duplicate bugs, I will close this as duplicate of the older bug and please upload your ebuild there.
