OpenLP update...

[dsreyes1014]

Was wandering if the OpenLP package is ever going to get updated. Tried building it from source but no success and the docs aren't clear on how to do that. I'd love to use an updated version through portage. Thinking of installing Gentoo on our church computers and this software is pretty much the only thing holding us back from installing.

i bumped the ebuild in a local overlay to test it , but it has some issues...

you need to update
SRC_URI="mirror://sourceforge/${PN}/${PV}/OpenLP-${PV}.tar.gz"
to
SRC_URI="https://get.openlp.org/${PV}/OpenLP-${PV}.tar.gz"

and it wants to install the tests as-well, portage bans this, the correct way to fix this is to fix the package so it does not do this, but...

a _HACK_ to fix this, in this case is:
1, ensure all deps are installed
2, ebuild <the .ebuild file> prepare
3, go into the build directory and remove the "tests" directory
4, ebuild <the .ebuild file> merge

hope that helps
