desktopcouch is a shared, desktop-oriented database build around couchdb, that allows for easy data migration and data sharing between applications. (Or at least, it will do that someday. At this point I think it's mainly useful for developers that want to try it out. >_>) http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/desktopcouch
add dependency on dev-python/oauth ebuild
Created attachment 207926 [details] dev-db/desktopcouch-0.4.6.ebuild Ebuild for desktopcouch-0.4.6. Note that this depends on the dev-python/oauth ebuild, which isn't in the tree yet.
Hello, The Gentoo Team would like to firstly thank you for your ebuild submission. We also apologize for not being able to accommodate you in a timely manner. There are simply too many new packages. Allow me to use this opportunity to introduce you to Gentoo Sunrise. The sunrise overlay[1] is a overlay for Gentoo which we allow trusted users to commit to and all users can have ebuilds reviewed by Gentoo devs for entry into the overlay. So, the sunrise team is suggesting that you look into this and submit your ebuild to the overlay where even *you* can commit to. =) Thanks, On behalf of the Gentoo Sunrise Team, Justin.

Is there a page on what desktopcouch does? It's not clear to me what this would offer over and above dev-db/couchdb (and maybe something like dev-python/couchdb-python or dev-python/paisley).
Basically, it manages a per-user instance of couchdb so that applications using it don't have to worry about setting up (or making the user set up) instances of couchdb. There are also standards being written around it, so that there are standard data formats for things like contacts - this allows for interoperability between applications. It also has some replication features built on top of what couchdb itself provides, allowing you to sync your data to a new computer and keep them in sync automatically. So quick summary: interoperability, replication. It seems to be pretty poorly documented right now (thanks, Ubuntu!), but I think there are some interesting possibilities for it.
It should depend on dev-python/twisted: $ /usr/lib/desktopcouch/desktopcouch-service Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/desktopcouch/desktopcouch-service", line 41, in <module> from twisted.internet import glib2reactor ImportError: No module named twisted.internet #4: It's a dependecy for incoming versions of net-misc/gwibber
