Perhaps a link to the homepage/ overlay might be handy? ;) This is not "something that's about the technical development of our tree" so it might be considered off-topic (interesting though it might be.) As a general rule, the Unsupported Software forum is a good place to get feedback from users til something is releasable. (Apologies if you've already gone thru that process, just mention it and give the url in that case.) At that point getting feedback from devs as to it's suitability for inclusion is acceptable, aiui, although even then you're probably just going to get told to get on #gentoo-sunrise (irc.freenode.org) and work on getting it into the main overlay before it makes the portage tree. (Unless ofc a dev wants to pick it up out of interest.) BTW I don't recommend autotools (there's a reason they're called autohell ;) especially if you're not writing from scratch. (That's why you get all those redundant configure checks..) A simple system.mk which gets included in the makefile is a lot easier for everyone. ion3 (which is now in mabi's overlay iirc) does this, and it's a doddle to configure. (I think it was one or two sed calls.) -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
