Description:   Opened: 2007-01-20 11:45 0000 
Attached is an ebuild for Botan 1.6.1. Based on the existing 1.5.11 ebuild,
with the addition of an extra assembly module for x86-64 systems.

Also attached is a patch needed for noexec stack purposes.

Cleanout: 1.5.4 and 1.5.11 ebuilds probably should not be used by anyone at
this point as there is now a stable/supported release based on the tree those
releases originated from.


Reproducible: Always

1. Any reason why you modified the keywords?
2. Any reason why you did not merge the asm noexec stuff into your delivery?

Also it is very annoying that I cannot ebuild xxx install as regular user, your
ebuild since it fails on install when trying to chown/chmod or something... Can
you please have a look on this one for next release?

------- Comment #4 From Jack Lloyd 2007-01-20 15:58:19 0000 ------- 
I modified the keywords as I have only tested that particular ebuild under
amd64 and x86 - it was my understand that all keywording should be done by arch
testers. It should work under all other architectures Gentoo runs on.

I haven't merged the noexec patches yet because I haven't had a chance to
evaluate if it causes any portability problems (in particular, under ELF
systems that do not use the GNU assembler).

As to the installing it as a user - how is that even done? Wouldn't the install
step die pretty hard attempting to write to /usr/lib/blah?

------- Comment #5 From Alon Bar-Lev (RETIRED) 2007-01-20 16:38:36 0000 ------- 
BTW: Can you please next time submit only a patch for your ebuilds?

Just try in your regular (none root) user:
ebuild botan-1.6.1.ebuild install

It should install all files to temperary location...

It just like:
./configure
make install INSTALLROOT=/tmp/root1/usr

Most packages don't fail if none root account is specified...

OK.
Added to portage.
