Go back and read my posting about why many ebuilds don't get into the tree. Subject =3D Re: [gentoo-dev] Ebuilds not getting in :( Date =3D Tue, 22 Apr 2003 15:36:55 -0700 If you fix those issues, and fix that ebuild.=20 Things to fix: add SLOT, add KEYWORDS, add IUSE, 'use foo' statement style, use PATCHES instead of patch+src_unpack, local variable declarations, unnessicary statement block in src_install, broken homepage URI, ALL documentation with the package should be installed (manpages and even the guys pgp key) , einstall instead of 'make install' and most importantly EBUILD CHANGELOG!!!!! > I have come back to the new versions of the software... In a completely > new system, and the ebuild works fine. Is libcap even actively maintained still? If not and it is not widely used, then it is not likely to get into the tree at all. If you resolve all of the above issues, and the package is still widely used (I want some proof of this), then I'll take the ebuild and maintain it in portage myself. Update the bug with your new ebuild and mark the old ones obsolete. --=20 Robin Hugh Johnson E-Mail : robbat2@orbis-terrarum.net Home Page : http://www.orbis-terrarum.net/?l=3Dpeople.robbat2 ICQ# : 30269588 or 41961639 GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85 --jRHKVT23PllUwdXP Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Robbat2 @ Orbis-Terrarum Networks iD8DBQE+qaIAsnuUTjSIToURArGRAJ9hYfdP/89erm4naiwo8PAqDd+9hQCeLcBI Sx4mOvarstOiQrCFAT+qEKo= =u4sl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --jRHKVT23PllUwdXP--
