I've created simple ebuild to install xsplash. It should be improved. I've decided to share my modesty ebuild. :) It you are skilled in ebuilds writing - it will be great to improve or suggest new ebuild. Reproducible: Always

Why gdm is dependency? It cannot be used with KDE and kdm?
(In reply to comment #2) > Why gdm is dependency? It cannot be used with KDE and kdm? > I was looking for dependencies and found this thread. https://answers.launchpad.net/xsplash/+question/81990 At the time I am going to look in xsplash source code to find if gdm is really needed dependence. Wait for -r1 version. :) If you can give some information - I'll be glad to use it. I am new to this but I'll try to do my best at it. :)
Created attachment 241115 [details] rewritten xsplash with real dependencies The new ebuild with real dependencies based on configure.ac from the package and patch to compile with >=gtk+-2.20
Created attachment 241119 [details, diff] patch for xsplash-0.8.5-r1.ebuild This patch is for xsplash-0.8.5-r1.ebuild.
Comment on attachment 241115 [details] rewritten xsplash with real dependencies in EAPI="2" epatch belongs to src_prepare, econf to src_configure EAPI must be defined before inherit DOCS is defined, but unused... it's a special eclass thing, none of which this ebuild is using

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, Markos.

Why are you CCing x86 arch? Dont do that unless you request stabilizations
Hello, everyone. It seems that at least one ebuild related to this bug exists in the Sunrise overlay at the moment. However, I have to regretfully announce that after a long inactivity period the Sunrise project has been discontinued and the related overlay will be eventually removed. For this reason, I'd like to ask you to reevaluate the ebuilds and consider moving them. If you'd like to maintain a package from Sunrise in Gentoo, please take a look at our Proxy Maintainers [1] project. Please make sure to take ebuilds from the unreviewed developer Sunrise repository [2] rather than the -reviewed one, since the latter has not been updated for over a year. While at it, please note that: 1. Adding a package to Gentoo requires declaring yourself as an active maintainer for it. All bugs regarding the package will be assigned to you, and you will be expected to maintain it. 2. Some packages may not be suitable for addition anymore. While there's no strong rules that would prevent you from adding a package, it may be a bad idea to add old-unmaintained packages that will shortly result in a large number of bugs reported with no solution. If that is the case, please close the bug as RESOLVED/OBSOLETE to make it easier to find packages worth adding. 3. Some of the bugs were already closed as WONTFIX/OBSOLETE/... while the relevant ebuild was kept in Sunrise. If you disagree with the original decision, you still can add the ebuild via proxy-maint. 4. Pleaes note that many of the Sunrise ebuilds are old and may be buggy. If you decide to move them, please make sure to update/clean them up. The proxy-maint team will also review your ebuilds, therefore making sure they land in Gentoo in good quality. Once again, thank you for your contribution. We hope that you will still want to contribute to Gentoo, through proxy-maint or otherwise.
