Ebuilds for aMSN from the CVS with WebCam support !

Dear other Gentoo-users

I am using aMSN a long time, and I like it very much but the old 0.94 version doesn't have all the functionality I would like to see in a MSN client. So I decieded to use the CVS version. After that decision I am using aMSN from the CVS for a while with great success. WebCam support is great all the new themes and all the other better functionality.

I searched for a ebuild but I didn't find it, and so I decieded to make an ebuild on my own.
It makes live much easier now for me it's now everything only one line to type and I have an up-to-date version

Before I will give you a hyperlink to the ebuild(s) I will tell something about them.
I decieded to make two ebuilds, one for the main program (aMSN) and one for the aMSN-extras.
aMSN-extras is an collection of Skins and Plugins wich aren't in the main distribution but are official maintained by the aMSN dev's. So you have two ebuilds.

So you are now a bit intrested in the ebuild I think ?

You can find the ebuilds on this address:

PS. Sorry for the bad english

Thanks,

will check it out right away!

EDIT: Installed it, looks nice, with many new features and some of which I really missed already ;-)

The only problem is that scrollbars are big and green and I can't find a way to change them.

I saw in the logs that there were many from this topic wich had downloaded the files.

But I didn't see any reaction on the working of the ebuilds.
Maybe it is possible to post some feedback ? So I can make the ebuilds a bit better or something else.

Thanks for the feedback :roll:

More than 200 views and a lot downloads, but no reply's with tips or a message "Yes it works".

As I already said, works nicely and no problems so far :-)

If I only could get rid of the ugly big green scrollbar

And thanks for your effort once again!

Here using the Zugaina's ebuild. But, thanks a lot for amsn-extras-cvs! No plugin designed to work with aMSN 0.94 works with CVS, so, thank you!
