Bug 257864 – net-analyzer/arping-2.08 produces bad manpage and script

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Arthur D. 2009-02-06 09:36:14 UTC]

1) Here's what we have in manpage:
"arping2ing", "arping2-scan-net.sh", "arping2 2.x only" which are incorrect.

2) Script arping-scan-net.sh attempts to call arping instead of arping2 (thanks to ebuild, which renames arping to arping2)

Reproducible: Always




Here's what should be done to fix these issues:
1)
sed -i "s/\(${PN}\)/\12/g" ${PN}.8 || die "sed ${PN}.8 failed"
  CHANGE TO:
sed -i "s/\(${PN}\)\(\W\)/\12\2/g;s,${PN}2-,${PN}-,g;s,(${PN}2 2.*\.x only) ,,g" ${PN}.8 || die "sed ${PN}.8 failed"
2)
Add this somewhere after previous sed:
sed -i "s,${PN} -,${PN}2 -,g" ${PN}-scan-net.sh

3)
Or just leave "arping" name instead of "arping2".

Thanks for reporting. This is fixed in net-analyzer/arping-2.0.8-r1.
