Bugzilla Bug 76839

I've attached a new ebuild for LogMon.

This program will monitor one or more log files, updating when more data is available ala 'tail -f' , within a common terminal window via a "split window". User can scroll up/down/left/right through all the windows. A header displays each frames file name, and number of lines in the file. Very useful when watching several log files at the same time.

I suppose it should go in sys-apps (as it's intended use is to monitor logs).  

The only thing it needs to compile is libc and ncurses.

This program is known to compile and work on BSD and Linux.  It *should* work on architectures other than x86, though it's not been tested.  Thus I've left KEYWORDS as ~x86 (feel free to change; and let the author know if it works on other architectures).

I've tested this ebuild on my gentoo x86 Linux system and it works fine.

logmon ebuild

*** Bug 117179 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

This bug/enhancement was created almost 1 year ago. What should we do to get
this to portage? Need a maintainer?

This also works on ~amd64.  What does it take to be a maintainer?  I wrote
LogMon, and I'm a Gentoo user, so I could probably maintain it if necessary.

logmon-0.4.3.ebuild

I don't think this has much to do with netmon. It could be watching any type of
log.

Ebuild fixes:

http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm/docs/mw-faq/redundant.txt

Also, the current Makefile includes an -O3 CFLAG. If there is no special reason
to use it, it should be patched out of Makefile.{am,in}.

proposed ebuild.

ebuild for 0.4.4 (newer version).

(From update of attachment 76463 [edit])
A newer version of LogMon is now out.  This one does not use -O3 in the
Makefile.  I've attached a .ebuild for this version.  It works on amd64 and x86
(I've tested both).

Looks good.

sys-apps is for core system applications, though.
Do you mind if I commit it as app-admin?

app-admin seems fine to me.

In cvs, thanks for reporting.

amd64: please handle ~amd64 keywording.

okay to get ~amd64.  compile and run clean.  (not opening a new bug to avoid
bugspam - but we are talking about logmon-0.4.4)
