> I've recently added Gentoo support to Lumina, a great, lightweight new desktop environment by the makers of PC-BSD, including an ebuild file for the upcoming 0.9 version. This was merged upstream a few minutes ago (https://github.com/pcbsd/lumina/pull/207). Lumina is created/distributed under the 3-clause BSD license ands has been written from scratch in C++/Qt5. It's not based on any existing desktop's code-base. |

Lumina really deserves a wider audience and I think its philosophy is very compatible with Gentoo's way of doing things. If possible or required, I would not mind maintaining the ebuild. |

So I have a mild interest in this because it builds on bsd and its |
| 20 |
light, so it might have good chance of building on the embedded stuff I |
| 21 |
work on. But to be honest, I don't have time to just jump into this. |
| 22 |
It might be easy, it might be hard. It would help, however, if you just |
| 23 |
wrote down step by step how you would manually build starting from a |
| 24 |
stage3. Your manual build will hit missing dependencies, write them |
| 25 |
down. You then will have to construct a working ./configure line with |
| 26 |
all the right flags, write that down. Etc. If I (or some other dev) |
| 27 |
looks at that list, we'll have some basis of writing the ebuild. |

Put your steps in the bug report, ping me and I'll take a look. |
