It's important to realize that the submissions were intended to AID the developers, not to necessarily be PERFECT in every way. I submitted the ebuilds in good faith in the hope they would help myself and others get the portage tree wrt ROX up to date and correct breakages. In that my "spacing" was not liked, or my "descriptions" were too long is irrelevant. The ebuilds are fine, and they work. You are welcome to them. As for future development, due to possible problems with the rox.eclass, I am taking rox off-line from gentoo and will maintain it separate from gentoo. As for any open bugs, I leave it to maintainer-wanted. Good luck. -- Peter -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
