Description matt anderson 2004-01-20 20:28:28 UTC
gnu-efi is the GNU library that provides an implementation of EFI which is Intel's way to boot ia64 systems.

Check out http://developer.intel.com/technology/efi/ for more information.

Since this is a dependency for elilo this could go in sys-boot/gnu-efi.

matt, I've put this in portage.  Here are a couple comments for you:

1. it's more convenient if you include the name of the ebuild and patch when you attach them.  the attachments below don't suggest what the name of the files should be when I download them. :-)

2. I renamed the patch to include a hint of what it's patching.  I changed it from gnu-efi-3.0a.diff to gnu-efi-3.0a-lds.patch

3. LICENSE="GPL" isn't valid, actually.  it needs to be GPL-1 or GPL-2.  I'm guessing GPL-2 is correct (enough)

4. I added a couple other things to the ebuild (DEPEND/RDEPEND, ARCH-manipulation, installation of documentation)

Thanks!
