Download the file above, and just unpack it into /your/overlay/media-sound and emerge.

In ebuild is hashed epatch line. If it's in ebuild, I have some errors. Somebody can look at it and try to remake it, but it's nothing important.

it looks nice, thank you

you're welcome

oh, If you have too much deps for compile, look if you have enable gnome flag for these package, because gnome flag are compiling gst-plugins-gconf and gst-plugins-gnomevfs, which need a lot of stuff from gnome.

Thanks for this ebuild! You might want to post it as an attachment to this bug as a candidate for a Portage ebuild.

why is songbird not in the official portage tree?

Poe · Posted: Fri Nov 16, 2007 10:05 pm Post subject:

i dont know why. Maybe will be now, because I've made new ebuild for 0.3.1 version.
Here You are

media-sound/Songbird-bin/Songbird-bin-0.3.1.ebuild

Poe · Posted: Mon Jan 07, 2008 2:36 pm Post subject:

Songbird-0.4 is out! And there is an ebuild for these.
What's new? "Softer" running, without cuts etc and finally Songbird displays songs in right order! and in my opinion sound is better.
All realse notes

Put Songbird-bin-0.4.ebuild into [u]/your/local/portage/tree/media-sound/Songbird-bin

nice to hear it

I hope, you like it.
why bin? look at songbirdnest.com, there are only -bin pckage, the source we have to get only from svn, so ebuilds for -bin are easier for make, and different between build from package and source is small, I think.

Hey guys, I can't emerge Songbird since the Manifest file is missing. Any hints on this?

I've made ebuild for 0.5-rc1. It works better than olders on my machine.
There are release notes - http://www.songbirdnest.com/release-notes/0.5/RC1
and ebuild
media-sound/Songbird-bin-0.5_rc1.ebuild

Poe · Posted: Thu Mar 20, 2008 9:15 pm Post subject:

0.5_rc2
new Songbird - 0.5_rc2 and an ebuild for it. I added jpeg flag. if it's enabled, it installs media-plugins/gst-plugins-jpeg. it's probably need if you want to have album extension in Songbird (these extension is not for this version yet, only for older versions, but I hope, it'll be available when 0.5 will be out).

Songbird-bin-0.5.ebuild
We have Songbird 0.5!
New Features and new USE flags ( faad and mad ) added!

ebuild? here you are

media-sound/Songbird-bin-0.5.ebuild

Poe · Posted: Sat Mar 29, 2008 9:05 pm Post subject:

I found small 'bug' - if you needed play any internet radio, you couldn't. because you haven't gst-plugins-neon package.
I removed USE="mad", because I forgot, that gst-plugins-mad is need in standard and it's in main packages in deps, and I added to main deps gst-plugins-neon.

here you are, Songbird-bin-0.5-r1.ebuild

o sh.... I forgot about simply thing - if you're making digest, ebuild has to download both sources (x86 and amd64), for generates correct digest with both md5.

Hi. I've made an ebuild for 0.6_pre20080410. It's very developing version. On my machine runs little unstable, and before first run 0.6 you have to delete your library from Songbird (Songbird will ask you 'delete or not', but if you would click 'not', then songbird wouldn't run well).
but if somebody would like to test, here you are:
save as media-sound/Songbird-bin-0.6_pre20080410
and make digest by
