Bugzilla Bug 12511

I hope this is the right place to submit a new ebuild? Appended below is one
for
the wdiff package. I guess, this one should go to 'app-text':

DESCRIPTION="Create a diff disregarding formatting"
SRC_URI="ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wdiff/${P}.tar.gz"

src_compile() {
        # Cannot use econf here because the configure script that
        # comes with wdiff is too old to understand the standard
        # options.

        ./configure --prefix=/usr \
            || die
        emake || die
}

src_install() {
        make prefix=${D}/usr \
                datadir=${D}/usr/share \
                infodir=${D}/usr/share/info \
                mandir=${D}/usr/share/man \
                install || die

        if [ -z "`use build`" ]
        then
                dodoc COPYING ChangeLog NEWS README
        else
                rm -rf ${D}/usr/share/info
        fi
}

I guess I was too quick, sorry. :-( The wdiff package depends on

   sys-apps/diffutils

as well, because it is just a mere front-end to the normal diff utility.

Peter, where the heck are you?  Respond to my emails, dammit! :)

As ordered, Sir. :-) Replies are underway ...

Any ideas, peter?

Created an attachment (id=6801) [edit]
New version of the ebuild, which fixes the compile error experienced by Seemant

The problem you had comes from a non-ANSI-conformant declaration of the main()
function in the source. I added an appropriate patch to the ebuild. The
appended tar.gz archive contains the whole thing now, digest, ebuild file, and
diff.

Any chance of seeing this in the portage tree any time soon? Just wondering,
the
build has been stable here for a while now and I didn't hear anything yet.

yes sir, coming to portage in a few minutes

sorry for the delay, peter, added to portage.
