[gentoo-dev] KDE ebuild request for Dan Armak

[Troy Dack]

I'm posting this here because it is not really a bug and doesn't deserve to 
go onto bugs.gentoo.org.

Dan,
        I think you are the absolute genius who put together the KDE3 ebui
lds so quickly, so I'm directing this to you, but if anyone else can help, 
please do.

Is it possible to build an ebuild for KDE3 that checks out this directory 
(http://webcvs.kde.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/kdelibs/kstyles/keramik/?only_with_tag=MAIN) 
and installs that one theme?

If it's far too much effort then that's fine.  Unfortunately I don't have 
the required skills (or time) to attempt this myself.

Thanks again.

Troy

Quick answer: it's possible, and as far as I can see without actually trying, 
easy enough. People have been talking about keramik on the kde lists too, and 
I want to take a look at it myself without running cvs again already, so I'll 
make an ebuild at some point.

It won't be fetching from cvs dynamically though - at least not yet, we're 
working on a cvs ebuild standard in portage atm but it's not quite finished. 
So I'll make a snapshot of the cvs dir and put it on ibibilo.
