There's a new, lean-and-mean desktop environment in town called Lumina. The Lumina Desktop Environment is a lightweight system interface that is designed for use on any Unix-like operating system. Lumina is created/distributed under the 3-clause BSD license, allowing it to be used by anyone, anywhere. It has been written from scratch in C++/Qt5 and is not based on any existing desktop's code-base. It also does not have a dependency on any of the Linux-based desktop frameworks (ConsoleKit, PolicyKit, D-Bus, systemd, etc..), instead using a simple built-in interface layer for communicating directly with the operating system (which is the only class specific to the operating system - making it simple to port/customize). I've created an ebuild for the upcoming 0.9 version of Lumina which was accepted upstream here: https://github.com/pcbsd/lumina/blob/master/lumina-0.9_pre.ebuild I would like lumina to become installable on Gentoo using Gentoo's main Portage tree, so that a user can simply type 'emerge lumina-base/lumina'. I'm not certain if the package needs to be adopted by an existing Gentoo developer, but regardless, I'm willing to maintain the ebuild and enhance it with future USE flags, stable/testing versions, etc.
Rubin, you probably want to get in contact with the Proxy Maintainers project ( https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Proxy_Maintainers ) whereby you can maintain your ebuild, but without formally becoming a gentoo developer. An existing dev will commit your changes, but you will remain first contact for any bugs, version bumps, etc, and responsible for meeting Gentoo's QA requirements.

For qt4 it should be dev-qt/qtcore:4 for example, and :5 for qt5. >src_compile(){ > > eqmake5 PREFIX="${ROOT}usr" LIBPREFIX="${ROOT}usr/lib" DESTDIR="${D}" >CONFIG+="NO_I18N" || die "eqmake5 failed" > emake || die "emake failed" >} || die is not needed in either of these >src_install(){ > emake install || die "emake install failed" >} This can be removed as it is the default function unless "emake DESTDIR="${D}" install" would have it fail.
Also is xterm really required at runtime? Can another terminal suffice? You should leave it up to the user to install one since there are several better choices than that very old terminal. You could note this in a pkg_postinst
Just remembered.. live ebuilds should have KEYWORDS="" as they are never in testing or stable
Thanks for all comments! I'm being assisted by the proxy maintainer team via Freenode (#gentoo-proxy-maint) and I've got a pull request ready at: https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/1126

Yes, it was tested, many times. We saw a possible issue building with QT 5.6 that has some reason upstream; maybe you have an error message?
it fails to build for me, too. is there a fix for this somewhere? is some part of qt missing? emerge --info: Portage 2.3.0 (python 3.4.5-final-0, default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop, gcc-5.4.0, glibc-2.23-r2, 4.7.1-gentoo x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-4.7.1-gentoo-x86_64-AMD_A8-5500B_APU_with_Radeon-tm-_HD_Graphics-with-gentoo-2.2 Timestamp of repository gentoo: Mon, 22 Aug 2016 00:45:01 +0000 sh bash 4.3_p46 ld GNU ld (Gentoo 2.25.1 p1.1) 2.25.1 app-shells/bash: 4.3_p46::gentoo dev-java/java-config: 2.2.0-r3::gentoo dev-lang/perl: 5.24.0-r1::gentoo dev-lang/python: 2.7.12::gentoo, 3.3.5-r8::gentoo, 3.4.5::gentoo, 3.5.2::gentoo dev-util/cmake: 3.6.1::gentoo dev-util/pkgconfig: 0.29.1::gentoo sys-apps/baselayout: 2.2-r1::gentoo sys-apps/openrc: 0.21.3::gentoo sys-apps/sandbox: 2.10-r2::gentoo sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13::gentoo, 2.69-r2::gentoo sys-devel/automake: 1.11.6::gentoo, 1.12.6::gentoo, 1.13.4::gentoo, 1.14.1-r1::gentoo, 1.15-r2::gentoo sys-devel/binutils: 2.25.1-r1::gentoo, 2.26.1::gentoo sys-devel/gcc: 4.9.3::gentoo, 5.3.0::gentoo, 5.4.0::gentoo sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.8-r1::gentoo sys-devel/libtool: 2.4.6-r2::gentoo sys-devel/make: 4.2.1::gentoo sys-kernel/linux-headers: 4.7::gentoo (virtual/os-headers) sys-libs/glibc: 2.23-r2::gentoo ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" ACCEPT_LICENSE="*" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed" MAKEOPTS="-j5" USE_PYTHON="2.7 3.3 3.4 3.5" Unset: CC, CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, CXX, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_BUNZIP2_COMMAND, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS qlist -CIv dev-qt: dev-qt/designer-4.8.7 dev-qt/designer-5.5.1-r1 dev-qt/linguist-tools-5.6.1 dev-qt/qt3support-4.8.7 dev-qt/qtchooser-0_p20151008 dev-qt/qtconcurrent-5.6.1 dev-qt/qtcore-4.8.7-r2 dev-qt/qtcore-5.6.1 dev-qt/qtdbus-4.8.7 dev-qt/qtdbus-5.6.1 dev-qt/qtdeclarative-4.8.7 dev-qt/qtdeclarative-5.6.1-r1 dev-qt/qtgui-4.8.7 dev-qt/qtgui-5.6.1 dev-qt/qtlockedfile-2.4.1_p20150629 dev-qt/qtmultimedia-4.8.7 dev-qt/qtmultimedia-5.6.1 dev-qt/qtnetwork-5.6.1 dev-qt/qtopengl-4.8.7 dev-qt/qtopengl-5.6.1 dev-qt/qtprintsupport-5.6.1 dev-qt/qtquickcontrols-5.6.1 dev-qt/qtscript-4.8.7 dev-qt/qtscript-5.6.1 dev-qt/qtsingleapplication-2.6.1_p20150629 dev-qt/qtsql-4.8.7-r1 dev-qt/qtsql-5.6.1 dev-qt/qtsvg-4.8.7 dev-qt/qtsvg-5.6.1 dev-qt/qttest-4.8.7 dev-qt/qttest-5.6.1 dev-qt/qttranslations-4.8.7 dev-qt/qtwebkit-4.8.7 dev-qt/qtwebkit-5.6.1 dev-qt/qtwidgets-5.6.1 dev-qt/qtx11extras-5.6.1 dev-qt/qtxml-5.6.1 dev-qt/qtxmlpatterns-4.8.7 dev-qt/qtxmlpatterns-5.6.1
