Tired of the boring screensavers in Gentoo's gnome-screensaver package? Move the cool ones from xscreensaver in!
You'll need both gnome-screensaver and xscreensaver emerged before proceeding.
Preparation
Download the migration script
migrate-xscreensaver-config.sh
along with the associated XSL
xscreensaver-config.xsl
Make sure they are in the same folder. I would recommend creating a temporary folder for this task.
Migration
Then, follow these basic command-line setups (from that folder that you have created)
Convert the old format to the new:
$ chmod +x migrate-xscreensaver-config.sh
$ sh migrate-xscreensaver-config.sh /usr/share/xscreensaver/config/*.xml
Move the screensavers over
$ sudo cp /usr/lib/misc/xscreensaver/* /usr/libexec/gnome-screensaver/
$ sudo mv *.desktop /usr/share/applications/screensavers/
Clean up
Now, you can clean-up, and unmerge xscreensaver. Check your Screensaver preferences... and enjoy!
