So far:

  • Bluez with a patch to enable Dualshock 3 controller support. You may need to build sixpair to set the controller's master bluetooth MAC properly: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sixaxis?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=sixpair.c. If you don't have an outdated kernel or a need for this, don't use it.

  • Icedtea's latest ebuild forces systemtap, due to lack of a use flag. Fix'd. USE="-systemtap"

  • I've come to find hasufell's openmw ebuilds unsatisfactory. Mine have these fixes applied - use virtual/ffmpeg, add -D__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS to fix libav/ffmpeg issues, version 0.31.0 (the newest) and a not-guaranteed to compile 9999/live git ebuild.

  • Java-overlay's minecraft ebuild is a stroke of genius. It allows me to play it on hardened gentoo, something which wouldn't normally work with mojang's libs which are in the jars and not paxmarked, and I'm not willing to sacrifice my security for one game. However, after installing java-overlay's ebuild, a problem became apparent; error messages after installing a single mod with forge. As it turns out, minecraft ships with guava 15 now. Vanilla is okay with 14; forge is not. I updated the ebuild to pull in guava:15 instead. It now works.

  • Truecrypt died a terrible death. I salute ye'. However, that means that A) fetch restrictions are pointless considering it isn't there anymore, and B) I still use it. I'm using the 7.1a version from the good guys at https://github.com/AuditProject/truecrypt-verified-mirror. I also don't trust anything off of truecrypt.org anymore. You shouldn't either. It's been replaced with a 'use bitlocker' notice. I mean, bitlocker? My ebuild still prints the standard notice, but the restrictions on fetch are turned off, since it's been abandoned by its author and there's no 'I accept' dialog with a mirror.

  • DeSmuMe. Nintendo DS emulation. Nuff' said. The official gentoo repo has up to 0.9.9. However, we have 0.9.10 now. That's what I added. Also - the patch is to fix an issue, namely a function in the gtk code should be declared bool, not void. Apparently this went uncaught - so a system will spit -fpermissive. The patch is a one-line replacer to solve this.

  • Cryptopy. This is completely different from pycrypto. It's also severely out of date, and needed to be patched, because the idiot who coded it used the copyright character from UTF-8 without encoding lines. Python thinks it's ASCII and doesn't like unprintable characters. Some legacy python code I have needs it, Unfortunately. This is also a 'from-scratch' ebuild, so it's guaranteed crappy.
