Created attachment 334228 [details] xfce4-notes-plugin-1.8.0_alpha.ebuild w/o patch logic patch is added to /etc/portage/patches/xfce-extra/xfce4-notes-plugin/ directory
Created attachment 334230 [details, diff] main-panel-plugin-cast.patch patch which resolves a compile issue with a cast to the proper type
this is what I was working for bug 450028 .. ebuild there also requires above patch inorder to work with the current tree as of jan 3, 2013 bug filed upstream as: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9715 with a patch submitted ..
Created attachment 334234 [details] xfce4-notes-plugin-1.8.0_alpha-r1.ebuild uses the "files" directory patch method
as this is a work in progress some extra comments are in the ebuilds There may be a dependency in the build system for this plugin for zsh I did install the latest in my own system at one point .. I'll check and get back
Created attachment 334236 [details] xfce4-notes-plugin-9999.ebuild git based version of xfce4-notes-plugin requires main-panel-plugin-cast.patch in "files" directory until fix hits the tree .. please also add to xfce-dev
removed zsh from build environment and everything still works so that was spurious ignore in ebuild comments
Created attachment 334244 [details] xfce4-notes-plugin-1.8.0_alpha-r1.ebuild a more decruftified ebuild w/o losing comments
Created attachment 334246 [details] xfce4-notes-plugin-9999.ebuild decruftified as well
Created attachment 334454 [details] xfce4-notes-plugin-1.8.0_alpha-r1.ebuild replaced src_configure -- xdt-autogen with reference to autogen.sh in pkg_setup more proper
seems that the compile time also requires that a symlink to the current valac-0.16 being used is needed to /usr/bin/valac ln -s /usr/bin/valac-0.16 /usr/bin/valac else build scripts cannot find the installed valac although the configure script does .. is this an oversight in gentoo vala handling? I'd forgotten that I'd done this .. sorry how should this be fixed?
Created attachment 334476 [details] xfce4-notes-plugin-1.8.0_alpha-r1.ebuild after a few go rounds with vala.eclass looked at xfce4-vala-4.10 ebuild for a clue and that worked so no links required
Created attachment 334478 [details] xfce4-notes-plugin-9999.ebuild fixed up as well same issue
Created attachment 336594 [details] xfce4-notes-plugin-1.8.0_alpha-r1.ebuild added requirement for WANT_AUTOMAKE="1.12" .. this does not force install of automake-1.12.* user needs to make sure it is installed at present
Created attachment 336596 [details] xfce4-notes-plugin-9999.ebuild added WANT_AUTOMAKE="1.12" as does not build with automake-1.13.* due to changes in configure files .. silent failure to finish configuration .. no install script generated .. :^( but it does work with automake-1.12.6
Created attachment 336604 [details] xfce4-notes-plugin-1.8.0_alpha-r1.ebuild added dependancy to automake:1.12
Created attachment 336606 [details] xfce4-notes-plugin-9999.ebuild added dependancy to automake:1.12
Sorry, but the overlay is for core xfce live ebuilds only. It did contain plugins in the past, but those were removed because of the increased maintenance but practically no gain. Also, we usually don't add snapshots (plus, that's not how we package snapshots, take a look at thunar-shares-plugin for example) unless there's a reason to. So unless you have a reason why we should bump xfce4-notes-plugin to a pre-release snapshot, I'll have to close this bug. I hope you understand this.
