Bugzilla Bug 44870

As you can see on http://effbot.org/zone/element-index.htm, elementtree is a
good xml interface for python.  I put it in dev-python/elementtree.

You can do what you want with the ebuild (maybe dependecies are not correct,
etc.)

I don't like the features for gentoo users to provide ebuilds, so normally I do
not send you my ebuilds.  But this time I take a exception.

elementtree-1.2.ebuild - file

Here is the ebuild file.

1. Quote from your ebuild:
"# NOTE: The comments in this file are for instruction and documentation.
# They're not meant to appear with your final, production ebuild.  Please
# remember to remove them before submitting or committing your ebuild.  That
# doesn't mean you can't add your own comments though."

2. Correct license is PYTHON, not GPL
3. Use distutils instead of "python setup.py..."
4. Add IUSE

corrected elementtree-1.2.ebuild

this should really be put into portage, as it is a runtime dependency of boost
(boost.pyste)

is that an optional runtime dependency for boost.pyste?

slightly different ebuild

The ebuild in my overlay is very slightly different; I choose to record the 
version differently (the previous version discards the "a5", I change it to
1.2_alpha5); also, the samples directory is useless, as it just contains two
xml documents that are needed for tests that aren't being installed anyway
(which I think is OK).

Comment no. 2 says that the license is Python, but the license in the source
files doesn't look like the Python license to me; I classified it as "as-is"
(same as the Python Imaging Library).

elementtree-1.2_alpha5.ebuild

"""DEPEND=..."""  -- it isn't required because it's defined in distutils eclass

"""LICENSE=...""" -- i'm not sure, but in PKG-INFO it's declared as PYTHON.

Committed a newer version to Portage. Thanks guys.

Footnote: The ElementTree license is identical to the original MIT-style Python
license, which was used for Python up to 1.5.2.  The OSI calls this the
"Historical Permission Notice and Disclaimer" (see
http://www.opensource.org/licenses/historical.php).

Feel free to mail me if you have further questions.

Cheers /F

PS. ElementTree 1.2 final will be released later this month.
