I've created a new e-build... there is a new forum thread for it now in the unsupported section:

yeah i know the gentoo e-build rules frown upon live cvs ebuilds..... but this is a starting point.... it would be nice to get this app integrated into the distro like it is in Redhat/Sled/&Ubuntu

ok cool, however, for people to really start using gnome-main-menu its gonna have to be in layman (thats not my requirement but it makes the lazy people and the people afraid of doing a manual overlay happy). if its gonna go in layman the overlay should just be for gnome-main-menu since all the other deps i think already in portage, this will make it easier to figure out whats needed to get the ebuild into portage. lastly, this is unsupported so we should move this convo and any more posts about the ebuilds to the other sub-forums

I can help too, updating the patches if you want. I use this great app and want to make it better for Gentoo

Alright, well im not really done playing with this patch, but if you want to try it out and get an idea or send me more ideas or say it sucks feel free... In one of the first screen shots of slab i saw a distro logo for Novell and I wanted to do the same for gentoo.... here is where im at right now:

well, it is all cvs as I can see it. why doesn`t somebody want to have an ebuild with patches and the rpm?

so you don`t need the autogen patches and you have a stable version like in sled.

btw. the logo looks quite nice

Guys. What is the best way to get this menu at the moment. It's a little unclear from this thread, it seems like the Gentopia overlay's ebuild isn't working, and there are two people here with an alternative overlay.

Where should I get the new menu from??

Cheers,
jcat

at first i was thinking about having a static icon up there, and then I thought it could almost be a user icon like in XP.... idk what do think?

well, I tried to compile gnome-main-menu without avahi and it works.

i think it would be cool to make avahi to an useflag, so that ppl can decide to use it or not.

hello,

i'm using the xeffects overlay to try to get the gnome-main-menu working (after reading several threads on the subject). but i seem to have a compiling problem:

Now it is failing on intltool. I have tried versions of intltool back to 0.34.1. Currently on 0.35. Still it fails.
