Currently, there is no really working version of it in the tree:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=494624
But due its bumps and current bugs, this needs a maintainer...
otherwise, I would treeclean it (the problem is that looks like some
people use it, but without none of them willing to maintain it, it will
be difficult to handle :( )

I would help taking care of it, as I use it sometimes.

I do a lot of version bumping on google-chrome, and I have a script
that automates the process for me. If anyone is interested in
maintaining googleearth in a similar manner, you might find my script
useful.

Looks reasonable.
The tricky thing with this package (not sure whether it has improved
over the last year) is that there are bundled libraries; and depending
on how you handle (or don't handle) them, it can lead to breakages. Due
to a binary nature, this is often something you can't resolve yourself;
iotw, this means you'll need to check up with upstream to fix these.
Besides that, there is also RESTRICT="mirror"; so, you are restricted
to providing the versions upstream provides (eg. in case you want to
mask newer versions until a bug is resolved).

Thanks for the info Tom.
I will subscribe myself to the package. Anybody else is invited to
help me with it.

Googleearth is 90% of the time broken. I don't see how you can do
automated version bumps there. And we should not bump if the new version
is broken.

If that is the case, it sounds like it isn't worth keeping it in the tree.
