Together with the update to gnome-2.16 plugins for gedit were revived. From the README Installation ============ For the moment, you have to ./configure with --prefix=same prefix as you configured gedit with. How to choose which plugins to build: ./configure --with-plugins=pl1,pl2,... where pl1, pl2 ... are one of the following: bracketcompletion Automatically adds closing brackets. charmap Insert special characters just by clicking on them. codecomment Comment and uncomment blocks of code. colorpicker Pick a color from a dialog and insert its hexadecimal representation. joinlines Join several lines or split long ones. showtabbar Add a menu entry to show/hide the tabbar. smartspaces Forget you're not using tabulations. terminal Embed a terminal in the bottom pane. all All of the above plugins These plugins could be interesting for people working alot with gedit BMG had already an ebuild for the 2.15 unstable series that could be used as a starting point for a new ebuild https://svn.breakmygentoo.org/bmg-main/app-editors/gedit-plugins/gedit-plugins-2.15.4.ebuild
Could you try to put this ebuild in a local overlay and bump it to 2.16, see if it builds/works and post more info here? That would help a lot :) Thanks
Created attachment 97068 [details] added some more dependencies found in configure It builds fine on x86, gcc-4.1.1 glibc-2.4-r3 gnome-2.16, so far I tested the terminal and file-browser both are working as expected For the terminal, vte-python files have to be present, so maybe we need to add this too. In order to enable all plugins, python has to be used.
two things come to mind though, I think you can drop the python 2.3 dep as all the versions below that are hardmasked. And I think the gettext dep is somewhat redundant with the intltool dep (intltool being the fancy gnome wrapper for gettext). Gnome herd : what do you think ?

FYI, this is a dup of #28470.
