akater-ebuilds

Things of interest (in order of decreasing interest)

Package	Rationale
app-emacs/ebuild-tools	Access ebuilds quickly from Emacs
app-emacs/ement-extras	Use Matrix from Emacs with encryption
app-emacs/telega	A featureful Telegram client for Emacs
app-emacs/portage	Issue emerge commands from Emacs
app-emacs/magentoo	A Gentoo dashboard based on magit-section
app-emacs/pdf-tools	Read PDF with poppler in GUI Emacs
dev-lisp/sbcl	Bootstrappable with a user-specified Lisp
app-doc/ansicl	ANSI Common Lisp Draft: Info and PDF
app-emacs/elpa-to-ebuilds	Generate ebuilds for Elisp packages
app-emacs/imdb	Emacs IMDB client with local database
app-emacs/vterm	USE system-libvterm; native emacs-module

dev-lisp/sbcl also allows omitting html doc thus avoiding dependency on graphviz.

There is a variety of other app-emacs/* packages in the repository, some mine. Some are not present in elpas, e.g. app-emacs/pdf-mode.

Notes

This ebuild repository may contain:

• some older ebuilds dropped from mainline gentoo repository but interesting to the author
• a variety of app-emacs/* ebuilds
• ebuilds providing compatibility with environments interesting to the author
• experimental stuff (but most ebuilds should work)

I’m interested in lightweight environments, i.e.:

• text-only environments (no X)
• non-glibc environments (musl, at this point); there are some uClibc related ebuilds but uClibc profile is deprecated in Gentoo right now

Some ebuilds do not work, including:

• app-emacs/libegit2
• sys-firmware/open-ath9k-htc-firmware

I’d appreciate help with them.

To understand the purpose of forks of ebuilds from the main tree, I recommend simply diffing ebuilds. For convenient ebuild (multi-)diffs, consider my function diff-ebuilds provided by app-emacs/ebuild-tools.

I’m interested in

• www-client/palemoon support for hardened Gentoo
• net-print/lprng ebuilds and filters
• automated packaging of Emacs Lisp software for Gentoo
