Recently, I've followed the howtos prevalent on the Internet for using
the kde-sunset overlay to get continued ebuild repositories for KDE 3.
(Please...no one tell me KDE 4 is better. I have a test machine here
with the latest, just so I can see new developments. Ugh...)


Anyway, when I try to emerge the slotted kde-meta:3.5, it tells me there
is no ebuild to satisfy media-libs/akode, and this seems to be true even
in the overlay (the overlay doesn't provide it either). It also happens
whether or not the now-defunct 'akode' USE flag is enabled. Oddly,
there *is* an Arts plugins package for Akode in the overlay, but no
actual Akode for it to depend on.


Since the overlay says this list is the place for reporting bugs in
kde-sunset, I thought I'd ask here what to do. I have access to a
Gentoo machine that's still got 3.5 installed, so if nothing else, I can
probably see if I can move the ebuild file and its matching source
tarball over to the new system, but I just wanted to see if there was
something less lame that's more recommended first.


Thanks for any help...

Hello,

this definitely is a bug. Since I have never used akode myself, I
didn't noticed.

The problem is in kde-base/juk, which needs akode OR gstreamer and it
prefers akode.

Also, if you have an ebuild for media-libs/akode, please send it to
me, so it can live in the overlay. If you don't have it, I'll probably
write a new one.
