I'd just try to alter the scribus-1.3.4-r1.ebuild, but it looks for the source as a tar.gz. My first thought was that there should be a daily 1.3.5svn snapshot available at sourceforge to work with. Is that a big problem to make available? Discussing this is NOT really within my comfort zone, but I'd like to help. If I need to make my own tarball, what's the bash script I'd use?
