Added ~amd64 to keywords and these work:
- ocrad ocr engine
- gtk-qt-engine
I have some more to add here, but I tend to forget which ebuilds I edit. When I remember some more, I'll post them here
Created ebuild for these myself:
- amarok 1.1 (though unstable beyong imagination)
- gstreamer 0.8.7 and gstreamer-plugins 0.8.5
eclipse-sdk-3.0.1 emerges but segfaults at execution, btw.
After rebuilding gtk+ with keywords "cjk" and "nls" I got
app-i18n/im-ja-1.2
up and working nicely. I run im-ja with "anthy", not with "canna", so I can't say anything about how well those two work together. Anyways, I'm now writing happily in Japanese
gwhere-0.1.4 compiled via 'make' and is working quite fine (it crashes very occasionaly, oh well you can't have all . However the ebuild is only for x86.
I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes or should I?
app-portage/guitoo-0.47.0 works (only ~x86 unmasked at this point)
Not without its bugs, but it's the best GUI portage front end I've tried. Kentoo is only good for world updates and porthole is only really good for manually installing new packages and uninstalling unwanted ones.
Guitoo lets you view what's installed, what's not installed, select specific package versions to install, add files to package.unmask, package.mask, package.keywords, and make.conf, plus it'll run emerge -up or emerge -uDp and allow you to manually select which packages to update (although you do have to select those packages before it will allow you to install them, it won't do it automatically).
Bugs include (may or may not be amd64 specific):
1. The Sync Portage Tree button runs 'emerge rsync' rather than 'emerge sync', so instead of updating your portage tree it emerges (or reemerges) the rsync package.
2. Even if you select multiple packages to emerge, it only emerges the first one. So you can only select one package at a time. But because you have a package queue it's not that difficult to work around that.
BTW I'm using portage-2.0.51-r2, and I don't know which version of portage guitoo was built upon. (Maybe it works better on 2.0.50? I won't downgrade portage just for this though.)
also:
app-antivirus/clamav-0.80 ~amd64 - works
mail-filter/spamassassin-3.0.0-r1 ~amd64 - works
app-arch/alien-8.21-r1 x86 - builds and works to some extent
app-arch/dpkg-1.10.23 ~amd64 - builds but haven't used it yet
xfce-base/xfce4-4.1.90 ~amd64 - and all dependancies work
kde-base/kde-3.3.1 ~amd64 - and all dependancies work
net-news/pan-0.14.2.91 ~amd64 - works
games-puzzle/enigma-0.81~amd64 - works
games-puzzle/fish-fillets-0.6.0 ~amd64 - works (love that game)
Porthole-0.4.1_rc1 has a lot more features than -0.3.1 it also is a lot more stable. It does not yet have a feature to add/modify/or delete /etc/portage/* files yeet, but is planned for the near future.
One of the major feature additions is the advandec emerge dialog that lets you select which version to emerge, change use flag settings and select the ~arch setting. Check out the thread in gentoo chat.
I couldn't find eclipse mentioned of the first page list.
I have just downloaded (from Sun), the latest version of JDK1.5.0, and also downloaded the latest release of Ecliipse (3.0.1). (Notice I say downloaded and not emerged).
I installed the JDK first, then installed Eclipse, and everthing I have tried so far works
I have emerged gnome-bluetooth-0.5.1 x86 (using libbtctl-0.4.1-r1 ~x86) and it 'quite' works - gnome-obex-server crashes after each received file, gnome-obex-send works (I think), gnome-bluetooth-manager is not working as expected (crash, it don't add bluetooth devices to its list) however obex apps works regardless of the manager.
I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes or should I?
