sys-apps/miscfiles provides /usr/share/words
I would like to know if it is ok if I replace gentoo-x86/sys-libs/cracklib
with gentoo-ppc/sys-libs/cracklib...
Gentoo PPC's cracklib can be found here:
http://ftp.sunsite.dk/projects/gentooppc/portage/sys-libs/cracklib/
What we're doing is removing the procompiled dict files in ${FILESDIR} and
have cracklib compile it's own dict files using the word lists provided by
sys-apps/miscfiles.
Cracklib is a critical ebuild, so I would like some reviewing first. Anyone
care to comment on this?
