there's a typo in 'pluma-plugins' ebuild.

<------>terminal? ( >=xd11-libs/vte-0.52:2.91[introspection] )

should be:

Code: Select all

<------>terminal? ( >=x11-libs/vte-0.52:2.91[introspection] )

edit:

removing the typo and recreating the manifest resolves this little issue.

i'am not a coder - i understand the difference in a diff file, but never tried to create one

my bad - sorry @Hu

Could you restate that in the form of a unified diff? It's not immediately clear from your post whether you are showing us the bad line and expecting readers to know how to fix it or showing a good line. On closer inspection, I think you were trying to report that there is a spurious d: xd11-libs/vte. If you post your report in the form of a unified diff, readers can use it to patch the affected ebuild.

I'd prefer to see it in code tags, but yes. Now you need to send that to the maintainer of the ebuild, instead of telling us about it.

CooSee, where you obtained the ebuild from?

what do you mean?

the originigal ebuild is from 'mate-de-gentoo' overlay.

i used a different name of ebuild, to generate the diff file.

If you're having trouble getting it started, see this topic.

mods: apologies if this has been announced somewhere; couldn't find it, and seems deserving of user-promotion.
Feel free to delete, if so.

Stuck, at least for a while; or until we find a prior announcement/call for testers, whichever comes first. -- desultory

Sounds interesting.
