Bugzilla Bug 93870

Hi!

I'd like the ebuild for icmpdn added, if possible. This ebuild Works For Me when used with PORTDIR_OVERLAY.

icmpdn provides tools for FQDN lookup over ICMP. Since the Linux kernel doesn't support this, they are necessary in order to do such ICMP domain name lookups under Linux. Looking up domain names over ICMP is very useful when communicating between different home networks, where you cannot get your hands on a delegation for the reverse DNS zone (which is necessary for, for example, Kerberos authentication).

Follow the URL for more information.

The rc script for the daemon

This is an init script for the icmpdnd responder daemon. It should go into
${FILESDIR}.

Oh, and just for the record, I give my official permission for the copyright of
the ebuild and init script to be transferred to the Gentoo Foundation, if necessary.

Considering how there hasn't been a reply in over two months, is there anything
more I need to do with this, or does it usually take this long?

sorry, I thought I had reviewed this ebuild already.

comments on the ebuild:
1. please re-attach it with the offical comment block from another ebuild in 
the tree (legal reasons).
2. your src_unpack is redudant.
3. [R]DEPEND really shouldn't be empty. virtual/libc maybe?
4. einfo for blank lines is discouraged.
5. ebeep should not be used like that, it's only for critical warnings.
6. your $HOMEPAGE/$SRC_URI don't seem to work, no response from the server.

OK, I've fixed our concerns 1 to 5. I realized that I should depend on glibc
(rather than virtual/libc) anyway, since I use NSS.

As for number 6, however, I haven't had any problems with this server before,
and I've accessed it from all over the world, over both IPv4 and IPv6, so are
you sure it's not a problem on your side (maybe a stale v6 tunnel)?

Anyway, I'll attach the new ebuild. I verbumped it anyway, since I've released a
new version of icmpdn in the meantime.

New init script

This new script allows passing options to the daemon.

Is this coming anywhere, or is there anything else that I've forgotten?

nope, just waiting for a little time on my part, i'll try to take another stab
at it in the next few days.

I know i'm a bottleneck,

By the way, I think I forgot to mention it: The new ebuild is supposed to be
icmpdn-0.3.ebuild, since I released it along with 0.3.

New version

In the meantime, I've released a new version of icmpdn. This new file is
icmpdn-0.4.ebuild.

Is this going somewhere?

In tree under sys-auth/icmpdn - changes made to ebuild and init script.
