I have created an ebuild for gnome-pilot-2.0.14, which allows wireless syncing with Palm devices, such as the Palm TX. Here is the ebuild (which is basically the 2.0.13 ebuild): #======================================================= # Copyright 1999-2006 Gentoo Foundation # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2 # $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/app-pda/gnome-pilot/gnome-pilot-2.0.14.ebuild,v 1.6 2006/05/24 19:54:24 hansmi Exp $ inherit gnome2 eutils DESCRIPTION="Gnome Palm Pilot and Palm OS Device Syncing Library" HOMEPAGE="http://live.gnome.org/GnomePilot" LICENSE="GPL-2" SLOT="0" KEYWORDS="~amd64 ~ia64 ppc sparc x86" IUSE="" RESTRICT="fetch" RDEPEND=">=gnome-base/libgnome-2.0.0 >=gnome-base/libgnomeui-2.0.0 >=gnome-base/libglade-2.0.0 >=gnome-base/orbit-2.6.0 >=gnome-base/libbonobo-2.0.0 >=gnome-base/gnome-panel-2.0 >=gnome-base/gconf-2.0 >=dev-util/gob-2.0.5 >=app-pda/pilot-link-0.11.7" DEPEND="sys-devel/gettext >=dev-lang/perl-5.6.0 ${RDEPEND}" G2CONF="${G2CONF} --enable-usb --enable-network --enable-pilotlinktest" DOCS="AUTHORS COPYING* ChangeLog README NEWS" SCROLLKEEPER_UPDATE="0" src_unpack() { unpack ${A} cd "${S}" gnome2_omf_fix } #================================================================ It uses the file from: http://www.inference.phy.cam.ac.uk/mcdavey/downloads/ I downloaded the file, untarred it, renamed the output folder to gnome-pilot-2.0.14, and tar-bzipped it to gnome-pilot-2.0.14.tar.bz2, then put that file in the /usr/portage/distfiles/ folder.
Created attachment 92123 [details] gnome-pilot-2.0.14.ebuild Get the other attached file as well to place in the distfiles folder! Put this is the /usr/portage/app-pda/gnome-pilot/ folder, run: ebuild /usr/portage/app-pda/gnome-pilot/gnome-pilot-2.0.14.ebuild digest
Created attachment 92124 [details] source (gnome-pilot-2.0.14.tar.bz2) place this in the /usr/portage/distfiles folder
It is actually probably a good idea to put this in a portage overlay instead of the actual portage directory.Check this out if you are new to this (I was until I made this ebuild!) http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Installing_3rd_Party_Ebuilds
rather than making your own tarball, can you use the 2.0.14_pre5 on their webpage? http://live.gnome.org/GnomePilot your tarball is definitely not 2.0.14, at the very least it needs a _pre in the version.
It seem like you wanted this because of the netsync issue in a couple of the other bugs (#88511). However, gnome-pilot-2.0.14 is not going in portage until pilot-link-0.12 is released and the authors do not object that it be packaged, and that itself, gnome-pilot-2.0.14 is released. So I'm going to close this bug as a dupe of 88511 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 88511 ***

So I'm going to close this bug as a dupe of > 88511 News from bug 88511: pilot-link-0.12 has been released as well as 0.12.1, but there is no ebuild in portage (or an overlay) yet.
