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.

Thanks.  Unfortunately, it only confirms what I've suspected: it's not
maintained and nobody's working on a GTK+3 port [1].

[1] https://git.srcbox.net/gkrellm/gkrellm/issues/1

Gkrellm is built similarly to the GIMP where it draws it's chrome directly with GDK to be thin and lightweight without window manager decorations makes it more useful to leave always on the side of the screen. GTK+3 has gotten rid of GDK entirely and the porting docs say "use cairo for drawing" and "the transition is usually straightforward" which is not super helpful :-( Adding `DGTK_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES` and `DGTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED` were reasonably straightforward but `DGDK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED` is proving challenging. At the moment all these changes are local because it doesn't seem possible to subscribe to the mailing list or create an account from the gitea interface for upstream. Will probly post the patches to gentoo bugzilla just to get them on some external storage pending getting them upstream.

Thanks,
-A
