Description:   Opened: 2005-01-25 07:41 0000 
Build and install the GNU Autoconf Macro Archive.

The archive contains just text files; there is no build process. Hence, it should work nicely on all platforms Gentoo supports. Where I could test it, on x86, it did.

I'm not sure how to handle the different version number markup correctly, but I think the way I have is okay.

sys-devel/ac-archive-0.5.57 is already in portage

Sorry, I probably should have said something. That is in fact a different macro
archive, and it works with aclocal(1) rather requiring its own custom tools
(acinclude) to include macros in configure scripts. The documentation is also
quite a bit better. I think it would be worthwile to have both archives in
Portage, so that the user can choose.

Anyway, that's the GNU Autoconf Macro Archive, not ac-archive.sf.net.

------- Comment #6 From SpanKY 2005-04-27 21:17:37 0000 ------- 
ok, i cleaned up the ebuild and added to portage

for future reference:
- shell code in global scope is bad (i.e. executing things like sed)
- use make install DESTDIR=$D instead of einstall

thanks for the ebuild !

------- Comment #7 From Peter Simons 2005-05-03 05:07:07 0000 ------- 
I was wondering: What's the problem with einstall? Why does the alias exist if
its use is discouraged? I thought that einstall would be preferred over calling
make manually, but apparently it isn't?

Anyhow, thanks for getting the ebuild into portage. I looked at the changes
you've made -- next time I'll know better. ;-) 

There is a new version of the autoconf macro archive available, by the way. All
you have to do to update is:

 # cd /usr/portage/sys-devel/autoconf-archive/
 # cp autoconf-archive-2005.04.18.ebuild autoconf-archive-2005.05.02.ebuild

------- Comment #8 From SpanKY 2005-05-03 05:34:08 0000 ------- 
when einstall was designed years ago, its usage was a lot more common because
packages based on older autotools (and thus did not support DESTDIR) was more
common as well
