x11-misc/clipit ebuild tree directory compressed tar including 1.4.5 & 9999

Both tested working here.

To append to already configured local repository, execute as root:

cd [[/]path-to/local-repository]
tar -xz[v]f [/]path-to-downloaded/clipit-ebuild-tree.tar.gz [-C [/]path-to/local-repository]

where [] contents are optional.

Since no stable ebuild is included, install first requires updating /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords.

I tried to use this ebuild and here are a few gcc14 problems I encountered.

Version 1.4.5 does not build because of [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]. This was fixed upstream in commit 27b115cf7a6ced8d1f07025d0de1c88d4a1d3399 so the 9999 version should work.

The build still fails because of [-Wincompatible-pointer-types] and you have to apply this debian patch to fix it https://salsa.debian.org/debian/clipit/-/blob/main/debian/patches/incompatible-pointer-types.patch

Clipit development seems to be dead or at least comatosed so keeping it working is a challenge.
