Subject: [gentoo-dev] New herd: ayatana

Message-Id: 4ECE9383.5070907@gentoo.org
1 we have a new herd called ayatana (i'm currently the only member, but
2 anyone intrested is free to join)
3
4 it's aimed at maintaining the ubuntu -invented libraries many apps tend
5 to use thesedays:
6
7 $ grep -r "herd.*ayatana" */*/metadata.xml
8 dev-libs/libappindicator/metadata.xml: <herd>ayatana</herd>
9 dev-libs/libdbusmenu/metadata.xml: <herd>ayatana</herd>
10 dev-libs/libdbusmenu-qt/metadata.xml: <herd>ayatana</herd>
11 dev-libs/libindicate/metadata.xml: <herd>ayatana</herd>
12 dev-libs/libindicate-qt/metadata.xml: <herd>ayatana</herd>
13 dev-libs/libindicator/metadata.xml: <herd>ayatana</herd>
14 gnome-extra/indicator-applet/metadata.xml: <herd>ayatana</herd>
15 net-im/indicator-messages/metadata.xml: <herd>ayatana</herd>
16 x11-misc/notify-osd/metadata.xml: <herd>ayatana</herd>
17 xfce-extra/xfce4-indicator-plugin/metadata.xml: <herd>ayatana</herd>
18
19 and perhaps x11-misc/glipper
20
21 summary:
22
23 - keep all the libs and apps using them in sync, since upstream changes
24 API so often, when you bump one library, you have to bump or patch them all
25
26 - ditch gtk+-2.0 and move all libraries to gtk+-3.0, this will likely
27 mean lastriting indicator-applet and glipper
28
29 - add more of the project into portage after gtk+-3.0 migration is done:

35 note: i'm going to be superbusy with work up until x-mas so don't expect
36 much to happen "too soon"
