Bugzilla Bug 54047

I am trying to learn to use openDX from IBM (see
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22217). After emerging the application
I tried to follow the tutorial. The tutorial relies heavily on sample programs
that should be included with openDX. In the original bug report requesting 
an openDX ebuild an attachement was made for an opendx-samples ebuild. For some
reason this package didn't make it to the portage tree.
I found I could download the source package for the sample and follow the
routine "./configure && make && make install" without an itch or any input for
that package and it works fine (I am on ppc and openDX is in ~ppc). 

Reproducible: Always

I rather think this should be added to the opendx ebuild behind a doc USE.
Patrick, anyone else, opinions?

That sounds reasonable to me. The only real imperative is that the user
should be able to emerge it one way or another and not have to download 
and install it themselve as it is a part of the standard package.

doc USE sounds fine, I think.

Any progress on this?

Whow, already more than a year old... quite likely there are more urgent bugs
around, but this one deserves an age bonus. I'll check this during the next days.

Not yet connected with opendx (by USE flag and *DEPEND), but in CVS.

Appeared in portage and is working, at least on x86 will test on ppc
tomorrow.

Works in ppc as well. I wish you would be abble to add other
keywords than ~x86 for a first ebuild. After all I opened this
bug when I was working with opendx on ppc exclusively.
