kover was not developed for many years but was in portage for a long time as a kde-2 version. It was removed from portage right when kover started to be developed again. There is now a kde-4 version out. If some maintainer is willing to put it back in portage i would be happy. Reproducible: Always
I could look at it if you could provide somemore info about that package. First of all I am not able to find the homepage of this packages Please provide some more info about that. Thanks
Website at http://lisas.de/kover/ There is also a bugreport http://bugs.gentoo.org/187251 about version bump request in 2007 when it was instead removed because outdated interface and dependencies to kde non-standard packages. Koverartist is like stated in the above bugreport more advanced. And even if kover is now updated for kde 4 i think the old critisism about using non-kde libs is still there, but i like the simplicity of entering text in kover. The latest kde 4 release of kover compile fine for me with cmake . and make
I know this is an old bug, but I would also like to request that kover-4 be reinstated to the portage tree. Kover was removed because it hadn't been developed, and wasn't as advanced as Koverartist. But Koverartist hasn't been updated since 2006, and depends on kde 3.2.x. So, there is no kde cd cover app in the portage tree. Kover-4 is in the hwoarang (layman) overlay (http://gpo.zugaina.org/kde-misc/kover). However, with the upgrade to gcc, it no longer compiles and gives a "/var/tmp/portage/kde-misc/kover-4/work/kover-4/src/directory.cc:155: error: 'printf' was not declared in this scope" error, as well as a "/var/tmp/portage/kde-misc/kover-4/work/kover-4/src/inexact_dialog.cc:49: error: 'snprintf' was not declared in this scope" error. Thanks, this is a really big hole for me, Vicki
Ooops, forgot: momma@casper ~ $ gcc-config -l [1] i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.3.4 [2] i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.4.4 * Thanks, Vicki
Well I am not sure if I can do something about this. The package seems dead upstream
Created attachment 262391 [details] Kover-4 patch so it compiles under gcc 4.4.x Updates kover-4 so that it will compile under gcc 4.4.4
Yahoo! I'm no longer simply a luser. I've made a patch so that kover will compile under gcc 4.4.4, but I don't know how to get an ebuild to apply a patch, so I can't try that out. However, it does work with the source, cmake, and make. Also, this is my first ever diff patch, so I hope I got it right. It adds #include <stdio.h> to src/directory.cc and src/inexact_dialog.cc. I'm SO proud of myself! ;-> Vicki
I added your patch to my overlay. You can try again ;). Thanks for the patch
Created attachment 262401 [details] Kover ebuild using patch so Kover emerges under gcc 4.4.4
Wow! I've made an ebuild using the patch so that Kover will now compile under gcc 4.4.4. And it works! ;-> Apparently, in the patch, I used relative paths (../). It works, but emerge gives a warning that it might cause problems in the future. Thanks guys, Vicki
KDE team will take it, since it (surprisingly) still compiles and everything. Moved to our overlay, cleaned up a bit. Will move to tree fairly soon, but if we start running into errors from a dead upstream (compiler issues, etc.) it gets punted.
Great!!! There is a version 5 released a couple of months ago, but not announced. So if the ebuild is updated to grab version 5 it will probably find the latest version too. http://lisas.de/kover/kover-5.tar.bz2 merry xmas Andreas
Bumped in overlay.
Moved to the main tree.
