mdsplib-0.11.ebuild

Oh yeah...it would be nice if this went into dev-libs/mdsplib

Created an attachment (id=65039) [edit]
mdsplib-0.11.ebuild

tested on ppc as well, ebuild updated to reflect

added. Gentoo policy requires us mere developers to test on each 
architectures. I've checked ppc and x86. 
   
As such forwarding to amd64 and sparc peoples for them to check. 
keywords are used in Conky 1.2 dependency. 

~sparc added.
/me not happy with the kludge in the conky ebuild about this though.

I cannot make portage compile this package on x86:

[code]
charlie mdsplib # emerge mdsplib

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies   
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "mdsplib" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- dev-libs/mdsplib-0.11 (masked by: missing keyword)

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or 
section 2.2 "Software Availability" in the Gentoo Handbook.
[/code]

I tried every single combination in package.keywords and package.unmask but
still no luck.
Can I modify the ebuild so that it won't be masked anymore? If so, what should I
modify?

mayday147 - no  
  
this package has only just been added. it will maintain an unstable set of  
keywords until at least a month has passed.  
  
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml?part=3&chap=1#doc_chap4  
under "~ARCH in KEYWORDS"  
 
adding "dev-libs/mdsplib ~x86" to /etc/portage/package.keywords will make this 
available to you. 

Noppe. It still doesn't work. :) I get the same errot. I guess I'll have to
wait
for it to hit portage and maybe than it'll work for me too.

I was using the ebuild from here in  /usr/local/portage, but I didn't knew that
it hit Portage too and I had mdsplib both in /usr/local/portage and in
/usr/portage . I deleted the ebuild from portage overlay and now it works. Thank
you,
