Package request for ekstertera #18

Closed skobkin closed 6 months ago

skobkin commented 2 years ago

It'd be nice to have ekstertera package in this overlay.

For example as net-misc/ekstertera.

Well, it seems, this issue become obsolete: Qt5 is, actually, EOL already (and the extended support until May'2025 is, actually, for "subscribers", not for everyone). And this project looks abandoned and have no commits since 3 years already (and it definitelly not ported on Qt6)

So, I guess, it would not worth to create an ebuild for thing which main dependencies can be dropped from gentoo in not-so-long-distance future :shrug:

Maybe it just works :)

If it has deb - it is not difficult to create an ebuild for it.

And I think, if qt5 is very popular - it will be difficult to drop it, like Python 2.

Well, it is not hard even to make ebuild for building it from source (I just lacking of time all that time to do this).

But it will be sad if gentoo will decide to drop qt5 in, say, next year.

Although, if I finally find some spare time, I, maybe even port the project to support Qt6 too. There are chances, that it can be relatively easy (unlike qt3->qt4 and qt4->qt5).
