Hi folks

Is there a Gentoo package for xfce4-docklike-plugin? [1] "emerge xfce4-docklike-plugin" didn't do much, but perhaps it has a different name?

I guess I could just compile it from source, but I wondered if there was a nicer way.

BR, Lars.

Hi,

You can get an ebuild for version 0.4.1 here : https://gist.github.com/foobar0815/e826233d562c36f9c68b16219997bb2e
Since the ebuilld seems quite simple, I guess that you could rename it to 0.4.2 and it should work.
You could also open a bug to ask to add it in portage tree.

@netfab

Thank you. This works fine.

I'm somewhat surprised that there isn't a regular Gentoo package for this, but perhaps it's not getting much attention upstream?

BR, Lars.

Also, a search via eix (and also via gpo.zugaina.org) indicates that an ebuild is available in the 'tezeta' and 'farmboy0' overlays, which can be enabled via `eselect repository`.
