From the homepage: "Provides a shared library for including a Cisco-like command-line interface into other software. It's a telnet interface which supports command-line editing, history, authentication and callbacks for a user-definable function tree." libcli is needed by l2tpns (http://sourceforge.net/projects/l2tpns), for which I will file a separate bug and attach an ebuild.
Created attachment 91879 [details] libcli-1.8.6.ebuild I'll maintain this package if my recruitment (bug #139633) goes according to plan. Meanwhile, dragonheart gets a chance to review my real-world ebuild skills :-)

Created attachment 100652 [details] multilib-aware libcli-1.8.6.ebuild I don't have access to a multilib amd64 system, so would appreciate feedback from anyone who does.
Please file a new bug if you encounter a problem with this package.
