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

How oftes does this need to be bumped? Check the ChangeLog (`grep '^*' ChangeLog`): *googleearth-7.1.1.1888 (18 Aug 2013) *googleearth-7.1.1.1871 (01 Jul 2013) *googleearth-7.1.1.1580 (19 May 2013) *googleearth-7.0.3.8542 (02 Mar 2013) *googleearth-7.0.2.8415-r2 (10 Feb 2013) *googleearth-7.0.2.8415-r1 (04 Feb 2013) *googleearth-7.0.2.8415 (02 Feb 2013) *googleearth-6.2.2.6613 (05 May 2012) *googleearth-6.2.1.6014-r1 (02 Mar 2012) *googleearth-6.2.1.6014 (01 Mar 2012) *googleearth-6.0.3.2197 (24 May 2011) *googleearth-6.0.2.2074 (02 Apr 2011) *googleearth-6.0.1.2032_beta (31 Jan 2011) 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. -Marc -- 0x35A64134 - 8AAC 5F46 83B4 DB70 8317 3723 296C 6CCA 35A6 4134 signature.asc Description: Digital signature

How oftes does this need to be bumped? I am not sure :(, I am not too familiar with it since it never worked ok on my machines I do a lot of version bumping on google-chrome, and I have a script that automates the process for me.

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 :( )
