we have a new herd called ayatana (i'm currently the only member, but anyone intrested is free to join)
it's aimed at maintaining the ubuntu -invented libraries many apps tend to use thesedays: $ grep -r "herd.*ayatana" */*/metadata.xml dev-libs/libappindicator/metadata.xml: <herd>ayatana</herd> dev-libs/libdbusmenu/metadata.xml: <herd>ayatana</herd> dev-libs/libdbusmenu-qt/metadata.xml: <herd>ayatana</herd> dev-libs/libindicate/metadata.xml: <herd>ayatana</herd> dev-libs/libindicate-qt/metadata.xml: <herd>ayatana</herd> dev-libs/libindicator/metadata.xml: <herd>ayatana</herd> gnome-extra/indicator-applet/metadata.xml: <herd>ayatana</herd> net-im/indicator-messages/metadata.xml: <herd>ayatana</herd> x11-misc/notify-osd/metadata.xml: <herd>ayatana</herd> xfce-extra/xfce4-indicator-plugin/metadata.xml: <herd>ayatana</herd> and perhaps x11-misc/glipper summary: - keep all the libs and apps using them in sync, since upstream changes API so often, when you bump one library, you have to bump or patch them all - ditch gtk+-2.0 and move all libraries to gtk+-3.0, this will likely mean lastriting indicator-applet and glipper - add more of the project into portage after gtk+-3.0 migration is done: https://launchpad.net/ayatana note: i'm going to be superbusy with work up until x-mas so don't expect much to happen "too soon"
