These are packages that I'm actually working on Gentoo's Bugzilla, if anyone wants to help with them, please do it there!

diakonos-0.8.6
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=110190

It needs to have it's configuration file and help files available for all system users; actually it installs them downloading from the diakonos' Web site at the fist time the user fires up diakonos, that's not an acceptable behaviour.

pywebkitgtk-1.0.2 -> IN PORTAGE

I don't know why this packages wasn't in Portage before. Well I made it (the ebuild) because it is a runtime dependecy for Gwibber. It certainly works well, now is awaiting for neurogeek's proxy maintaining. :)

 07/12/08 pywebkitgtk 1.0.2 is in Portage now. Thanks to Neurogeek.

 15/12/08 It's in Portage now.

python-twitter-0.5
 
It is a runtime dependency required by pwytter, aparently works well, no idea until pwytter or any other package requiring it works.

shoes-0.r1091
 
It is almost complete, just needs devs approval and will be in Ruby's overlay and maybe Portage.

15/12/08 Shoes 2 was released, actually I'm testing it, it has a problem with the examples, when it gets resolved I'm gonna commit it to the Ruby overlay.

ruby-feedparser-0.6 -> IN SUNRISE
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105122

24/11/08
It has a problem, with the actual ruby.eclass it's installation causes a sandbox access violation, the actual solution is override eclass src_install() function and give the right installation path inside the sandbox control.

feed2imap-0.9.3 -> IN SUNRISE
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105122

24/11/08
Same as ruby-feedparser-0.6.

rbtree-0.2.0
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=173341

20/11/08 - 13.55
Originally this ebuild was made by Marijn Shouten, and he was using the .tag.gz package; my implementation uses the gem package so it could be better managed by the gems.eclass. Works well with Ruby 1.8 but doesn't compile with Ruby 1.9 could be missing some libraries.

net-ping-1.2.2
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=141387

20/11/08
Today we've learned that if our gem works with both interpreters, we need to add USE_RUBY="ruby18 ruby19" or USE_RUBY="any" into the ebuild; now net-ping is ready and could it be into the Ruby's overlay. :)

19/11/08
UPDATE 23:15 It works with ruby 1.8, the problem was that rubygems 1.3.0 wasn't compiled with ruby 1.8 interpreter, or something like that.

It doesn't work using Ruby 1.8, just with Ruby 1.9; the files installed just have root access, it's possible that they need to have permission for all users, it would be done at installation time into the ebuild.

eventmachine-0.12.2 -> IN PORTAGE
https://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=135520

This was easy, just a version bump, like older versiones only works with ruby 1.8.

gwibber-0.7 -> IN PORTAGE

The most acceptable Twitter's client that I've seen till now. Of course it has horrible Gnome dependencies, but works very well. Awating for neurogeek's proxy mantaining.

 07/12/08 Gwibber 0.7 is now in Portage, thank to Neurogeek.

 12/12/08 Fixed a missing dependency, librsvg.

gtwitter-0.2.4 -> IN SUNRISE
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=249200

03/12/08
First, I've made huge mistakes with this, but thanks tu Serkan and Tommy[D] I learned a lot of this stuff. The program doesn't work well, at least in my chroot, It can't retrieve messages from my Twitter account, just retrieve public messages; it can publish but not retrieve. Actually it was committed to Sunrise and waiting for approval.

pwytter-0.8
 
I though it could be my solution for a Twitter's client without install half Gnome into my system; sadly it doesn't work, isn't ebuild's fail, it comes broken from upstream. Anyway I couldn't give an exact appreciation of it since I hate don't know Python. Waiting for input.

rio -> Ruby's Overlay
http://rio.rubyforge.org/

Rio is a facade for most of the standard ruby classes that deal with I/O; providing a simple, intuitive, succinct interface to the functionality provided by IO, File, Dir, Pathname, FileUtils, Tempfile, StringIO, OpenURI and others. Rio also provides an application level interface which allows many common I/O idioms to be expressed succinctly.

 06/12/08 Added rio-0.4.2 to Ruby's Overlay. http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/ruby/browser/dev-ruby/rio?rev=152
