Packaging st-0.9.2 for Gentoo

st, “a simple terminal implementation for X”, has a new 0.9.2 release.

My overlay already makes it available for fellow Gentoo users. I also opened PR#36534 in the official Gentoo ebuild repository as proxied maintainer.

Gentoo has xsel-1.2.1 among the firsts

xsel works great to “manipulate the X selection”. Last week I stepped up as proxied maintainer to help bring already merged improvements to Gentoo users despite lack of new releases since 2008.

Thanks to support from soap during the past week, upstream has merged all ebuild patches, tagged 1.2.1, and Gentoo already ships the latest version — among the first distros, according to repology.
