please file bugs for these; just say "it works on $arch, please keyword
it" and let it be keyworded
I recognize some of them I added, I usually only add amd64 keyword ;p

Just out of curiosity, why do you need libtar ??? last time I tried it,
it built only a non pic static archive which could cause problems if
linked from a shared library on amd64 (but that wouldnt be libtar's
fault I'd say)

same for the keyword, plus I'm not the maintainer for this so I'm
reluctant to merge the desktop entry change without bug report ;p

they don't in portage, there is room for improvement for jackmidi
enabling/disabling in portage ;)

patches very welcome

indeed; please diff it and send a patch for the portage one, it's a bit
out of sync, and also check that the doc aren't built with use=-doc

yep we dont have vst in the tree; I've never played with this and never
took time to carefully check what its license means. Help and a proxy
maintainer for the vst would be very welcome ;)

I think I killed the etc/services thingy some time ago; not sure if
there is a better way to do it; any idea is welcome ;)

indeed and the one in the overlay seems to have better deps; I didnt
check carefully though. By the way, I dont understand what this march
flag set thing is, shouldn't it be part of cflags and therefore always
set ?

why is that needed? this should only matter when running the autotools
and certainly not at src_compile; if it matters then its probably due
to maintainer mode which would be a bug in the portage ebuild.


Thanks for the summary, I'll check more carefuly and try to merge some
of the changes probably tomorrow.
