Unless I missed something, you should be able to package move them in the overlay in preparation for moving them to the tree.

Re: [gentoo-dev] Last rites: 14 X input drivers
Le 13/07/2009 19:22, Robert Buchholz a écrit : We're using the x11-drivers/xf86-input-microtouch for a cash register. It works fine, but I think the machine is still on Xorg Server 1.3. I don't have the capacity to maintain this driver myself, but it seems bug #276615 has a patch, so I wonder why it needs to be abandoned. Whom exactly shall I contact upstream about the deprecation? Well, to start off, you might want to check if your hardware is now supported directly by the kernel. If that's the case, then you can use xf86-input-evdev which will make your life much easier. But TBH, I really don't know much about writing X drivers. All I can offer is to commit patches upstream and maybe make tarballs. My suggestion for now is to create a - ebuild of the microtouch driver inside the x11 overlay and make it point to the latest commit that has a chance of working: before the one that adds the AC_MSG(). If that doesn't work, you might want to get in touch with upstream X people via the xorg or xorg-devel mailing lists (resp. at fd.org and x.org). Hope that helps Rémi
[gentoo-dev] gpe-games: new category
Hello all, I have the following packages that need a home in the portage tree: gpe-go gpe-julia gpe-life gpe-lights gpe-othello gpe-tetris gsoko xdemineur They are only a few and they won't increase much in the future. For this reason I'm reticent in creating the gpe-games category in the portage tree as we currently have in the overlay. However, I find useful for users to have this category created since it would allow them quickly spotting another place for games (these games are targeted to -embedded but work on desktop too) while still providing the information that they belong to GPE. Moving each game to the games- category would be another solution but that would pretty much hide the relation with the GPE Palm Environment. There is of course another solution, like moving everything into gpe-base or gpe-utils and STFU. So fellow devs, I'm evoking your experience powers to help me with this oh-not-so-important decision. PS: Please but please, just don't tell me that adding another category will make a longer "ls -l" output in /usr/portage. -- Angelo Arrifano AKA MiKNiX Gentoo Embedded/OMAP850 Developer Linwizard Developer http://www.gentoo.org/~miknix http://miknix.homelinux.com

Or, more important, does uselect create those symlinks itself? If yes, please don't forget that OS without symlinks... Thank you! /haubi/ -- Michael Haubenwallner Gentoo on a different level
