I believe Kuroo is in C, maybe c++

First I would unmask it and emerge it so that you have all dependencies
installed.  enable the debug use flag or emerge pycrash-0.43 separately.

# echo =app-portage/porthole-0.5.0 /etc/portage/package.unmask
# echo app-portage/porthole /etc/portage/package.keywords
# emerge porthole

If you like it and want to make a kde interface for it,

Go to our sourceforge page and do a cvs checkout.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/porthole/

cd into the directory, edit as desired

then run it from a terminal:

# ./porthole -l -d


Also sign up to the 2 mail lists for porthole so we can discuss any
problems, etc..  This list is for portage development.

Then any changes can be diffed for commit.

cvs diff -u > somefile

Of course I will have to make changes to the interface loading so that
your changes won't kill the gtk interface code.

--fetchonly will just get the tarball downloaded into the distfiles
directory.

--usepkgonly is for telling emerge to use binary packages only.
