patch for changing path to ifconfig
Comment 2 LABBE Corentin 2012-11-24 12:23:31 UTC 
related to bug 44444 since sys-apps/net-tools have moved ifconfig

(In reply to comment #1)

hardcoding any path is wrong
Comment 4 Robin Johnson archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2012-12-25 07:21:41 UTC 
corentin: please rewrite it to try both paths.

Auto detect ifconfig location with configure script

Possible changes to this patch:
1: Fallback to default "/sbin/ifconfig" if no ifconfig was found
2: Try to exec IFCONFIG_RUN in configure if not cross-compiling, but I cannot found the correct autoconf macro for that at the moment.
Comment 6 Oleg Gawriloff 2013-02-08 06:53:29 UTC 
Applied patch cleanly. Available alongside with 3.4.2 at barzog-overlay.
Only thing that I can't manage is ebuild QA warning:
 * QA Notice: Automake "maintainer mode" detected:
 *
 *       cd . && /bin/sh /var/tmp/portage/net-misc/cfengine-3.4.2/work/cfengine-3.4.2/missing --run automake-1.11 --foreign
 *
 * If you patch Makefile.am, configure.in,  or configure.ac then you
 * should use autotools.eclass and eautomake or eautoreconf. Exceptions
 * are limited to system packages for which it is impossible to run
 * autotools during stage building. See
 * http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/autofailure.xml for more information.

Fixed in 3.4.4. Thanks!
