The old homepage listed in the ebuild is gone but has moved[0].

The live ebuild has the correct upstream repository so it seems like

just an oversight to not update the homepage whenever that was

changed. Bugzilla is crashing when navigating around the bug list

but except for the recent CLANG-STRICTER-SYSTEM[1] report the

issues[2] are mostly ancient and / or specific to plugins. It was sad

losing gkrellm-cpufreq ages ago but cleaning up broken rarely used

plugins would be much preferable to "throwing the baby out with

the bathwater" if that idiom translates. . . The patches[3] currently

in tree are just a default config and some opinions about font and

max width.

Every non-handheld device we use has gkrellm, two on the personal

laptop because one is connected to gkrellmd running on the home

server. On the work Mac laptop (though the X implementation there

is somewhat broken). On the previous Windows work laptop. The

various alternatives all seem much heavier like Plasma System

Monitor which wants to take up most of the screen and show things

in big pie graphs, or too light like the Mac things that put tiny-to-the-

point-of-being-useless icons in the menu bar at the top of the screen.

Will try to take a look at the CLANG-STRICTER bug if bugzilla starts

working again but it might take a while to figure out the build system

since gcc is still the default cc here.


Thanks,
