Description Massimo Burcheri 2020-05-18 05:06:19 UTC
Please provide an ebuild for the Perforce Helix Visual Client (P4V).

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Jonas Stein gentoo-dev 2020-05-23 23:44:11 UTC
Some notes for packagers:

* Qt5 application
* Proprietary 
* could not find the License in the download.

From the website:
================================================
Helix Visual Client (P4V) is a desktop app that provides access to versioned files in Helix Core through a graphical interface. It includes tools for merging and visualizing code evolution.
Powerful Access to Your Versioned Files

With P4V, it’s easy to customize your workspace, so you only see the files you need. You can work offline and remotely. And when you’re done, easily push local changes to a remote server.

You Can:

    See time-lapse and revision changes.
    Get insight into project metadata.
    Request code reviews on pending changes.
================================================

From my experience I do not expect that someone will be interested in packaging such a program soon. We can help you to build your own ebuild for an overlay (yours or guru)
