I've been bugging brix about this for a while and he always said he would work on it;however he retired, and latexer's GPS is not with him. If anyone else wants to fix the outstanding bugs; otherwise I will schedule this for removal.
Please don't remove this package. If someone just could explain what must be done, and I'll give it a shot. I just might find some time this weekend ;) Thanks! /Charlie

Hasn't any reverse dependencies (commited the necessary changes to net-wireless/kismet a minute before) -> masked.
Hold up there! Looking through the dependant bugs, the only serious one seems to be the unconfirmed crash report. There doesn't appear to be anything else in portage which does the same thing as this package - so why is it being removed? (Incidentally, I've built both the x86 2.0.4 and ~x86 2.0.9 ebuilds, and both work without crashing) Please reinstate this package... I can't see any good reason for dropping it.
i'll fix the ebuild issues if someone will commit them. i'm not sure if our Leica System 500 is NMEA compatible so a tester would be needed for the revbump.
ryanhill: if you'd care to prepare a properly updated ebuild resolving the 6 depend bugs here, I'll test it with my GPS unit, and commit.
Created attachment 99843 [details] gpsdrive-2.09-r1.ebuild the diff had about two unchanged lines so i'm just attaching the whole ebuild. ;) bugs: - added pkgconfig DEPEND. (bug #85592) - added garmin USE flag. (bug #77429) - added mysql USE flag and conditional dev-db/mysql RDEPEND. (bug #73646) (mysql support is detected at runtime) bug #94334 and bug #97208 are probably best left until 2.10_pre3 is released. it sounds like nerdboy has plans for these? (psst. wanna maintain this? ;) i can't reproduce bug #141596. other stuff: - removed nls USE flag. --[en|dis]able-nls doesn't actually do anything. NLS support is determined by configure by testing the presence of gettext (evil), but gettext is a hard depend (without it the build fails, even with NLS disabled) so just force it on. - added a check for >=glib-2.8.5 to configure.ac [1] - removed -g from CFLAGS in configure.ac, added -fno-strict-aliasing (these two changes are gpsdrive-2.09-configure.patch) - bumped gtk+ DEPEND to 2.8.12 to pull in glib-2.8.5 - fixed make install installing docs into /usr/share/gpsdrive/ - revision bump and keyworded ~ i can do an ebuild for gpsdrive-2.10_pre2, but like i said, it might be better to wait for pre3 and migrate it over to using gpsd.

Created attachment 99844 [details, diff] gpsdrive-2.09-configure.patch
I'm available to test - finally purchased my own US Satellite BR-355. I may not ever have time to maintain an ebuild, but I can certainly let people know whether they [and the underlying software] work.
I finally got my USB GPS unit back, so I guess I can test/maintain gpsdrive as well, since I don't want it to disapppear either. Go ahead and unmask it, I'll update the 2.09 ebuild (after I grade exams), and then wait for the gpsd support in the upcoming 2.10.
All yours. I added you to the metadata but left everything else alone, so it's still masked.
Okay, semester's over and the holidays are here... I have an updated version of the 2.09-r1 ebuild ready, and I'd like to remove the older versions, unless there's a good reason to keep any of them. Since we're shooting for depending on gpsd with 2.10, it seems like a good time to clean up. Feedback?
No opposition/dependency here - the more recent, the better.
go ahead
I'm not sure quite how to close this yet, but gpsdrive is now fixed and unmasked, with the old ones cleaned up. It's still marked ~arch for now, but I'll bump it stable shortly. It should have all the old bugs fixed, other than the gpsd dependency, so test away...
this looks a bit outdated. I think it can be closed.
