Qt Live Gentoo Overlay

January 17, 2009 · Posted in Gentoo

Qt Gentoo Team, added the qt live overlay on layman today. We provide live qt ebuilds from kde svn repository and Qt Software’s git repository. Plus we provive the new qt-4.5.0_beta1 packages. In this repository you can also find several qt4 applications ( arora , antico ) .

You can clone this repository by doing

layman -a qting-edge

Feel free to contact me or any other maintainer for any issues about the ebuids, or if you want us to put a specific qt4 application in this overlay.

Enjoy :)

Maybe, you could add SocNetV too? It’s a Social Network Analysis and Visualisation tool (nothing to do with Facebook! :P) which I develop in Qt4 for quite a while. It’s only dependency is Qt4+QtWebkit. There are already packages for Debian, SUSE, so it would be nice to have it ready for Gentoo as well. FYI, there is an ebuild for an older SocNetV version (0.43.1), but we have reached 0.49 since :) Here it is:

I feel good when I can help Greek projects, so I just added your application. Nice work :)

Thanks for adding SocNetV in the overlay, Markos, but I have a question.
I saw this line in your ebuild:

newins “${DISTDIR}”/help.pdf “${P}”-help.pdf || die “newins failed”

which seems rather strange, since we don’t have any “help.pdf” file in the project. You used to have the documentation in PDF up until version 0.43, but SocNetV has already reached version 0.49 and the whole documentation is nowdays in html format. So am I missing something or, perhaps, the ebuild is for an older SocNetV version?

Thanks!

Yes you are right. I ve updated and re-submit the ebuild ;)
