    Hi, I'm upstream.

    Kvirc doesn't actually require enchant:0, it just works with either
    enchant:0 or enchant:2. In fact, if enchant:2 is installed, it already
    uses it, despite the dependency. The ebuild should probably patch out
    the fallback to enchant:0 and just depend on enchant:2.

    Python 3.11 also works, but the ebuild is outdated.

    Re SSL cert, it's a valid concern. I'll try to figure out what happened
    there.

    Re snapshot from 2021, perhaps it's time to release a new version. We
    have latest commit in 2022, can at least update the ebuild to use that one.

    I'll take maintainership and update the ebuild, temporarily moving
    homepage to http:// and fixing the issues above.
