I agree. It needs someone to take care of it not only for Gentoo but for other distros as well. It will be more than just keeping the ebuild up to date. I'm hoping that someone somewhere will take it up. I'd think it is used by a lot of people. Surely someone can do coding updates as well. Only needs one, maybe two, people. I found a video on conky. Link below. It's kinda scattered so I found myself skipping ahead. There is a few times where it shows what it looks like. Set up could be a nightmare for someone like me. It sounds pretty complicated. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHtpLEoRKmg Home page has a couple screenshots too. https://github.com/brndnmtthws/conky#screenshots Conky may work but I don't see me liking it as much as I do gkrellm. I hope someone will take it over and keep gkrellm running. Maybe then a dev can keep the ebuilds updated. Given the original guy died, someone has to replace him for sure. Let's keep our fingers crossed. ;-) Dale :-) :-)
