The Symlink Properties Plugin adds an addtional tab to the file properties dialogue box in Konqueror [screenshot]. It allows the destination of a symbolic link to be viewed and changed. Until KDE gains a native ability to edit symbolic links, this is probably the best method without having to resort to the command line. Here is an ebuild for it:
Code:
# Copyright 1999-2004 Gentoo Technologies, Inc.
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
# $Header: $

inherit kde-base
need-kde 3

DESCRIPTION="A plugin for the Konqueror file manager, which adds an additional tab to the file properties dialogue allowing the destination of a symbolic link to be viewed and changed."
HOMEPAGE="http://www.keelhaul.demon.co.uk/linux/#symlink"
SRC_URI="http://www.keelhaul.demon.co.uk/linux/${P}.tar.gz"

LICENSE="GPL-2"
SLOT="0"
KEYWORDS="~x86"
IUSE=""

The latest version of the Symlink Properties Plugin at the time of writing is 0.11. Save the ebuild asapp-misc/symlinkprops/symlinkprops-0.11.ebuild in your PORTDIR_OVERLAY directory (configurable in /etc/make.conf). It works very well for me. If I get positive feedback I will submit it to Gentoo Bugzilla.

Edit: Added an IUSE variable to better suit the Gentoo ebuild guidelines.

Read this:

http://dev.gentoo.org/~liquidx/ebuildmistakes.html

Try to fix all errors in your ebuild. e.g. IUSE="" is still missing.

Greetings

Thanks EliasP. I've read the document and added an IUSE variable. I can't see anything else wrong with the ebuild. Any help would be appreciated.
