For consideration: a new tcl extension ebuild. SNACK is a Tcl extension for sound playback and editing. Homepage: http://www.speech.kth.se/snack/ Snack is used by Tcl and Python scripts. I recommend filing it under dev-tcltk/snack. Python really loads Tk to use it, so odds are developers will find it. This ebuild was a little tricky because the source tarball doesn't have the version information delimited in a way that gentoo is expecting. I also had to perform a neat workaround because, like most tcl extensions, you actually compile it from a platform-specific subdirectory. Say... You guys aren't looking for someone to maintain the dev-tcltk try by any chance?
Created attachment 11137 [details] snack-2.2.1.ebuild This ebuild was tested under x86. It should theortically operate for all linux platforms. You'll not a little bit of handicrafts with the name of the tarball. This is a workaround for the fact the original tarball does not delimit the version from the package name. Because of an oddity with the original Makefile, your CFLAGS will not propogate into the build process. The makefile says it supports ALSA and VogOrbis. I have hacked the system to include these features during the configure step if the appropriate flags are set. I have not tested to see if they actually work as advertised. I'm going to contact the developer to see if I can get him to modify the Makefile as well as add a dash to the tarball's name.
snack-2.2.2 has been added to portage. Please test and let me know if you find any problems.
