Description:   Opened: 2008-05-30 12:24 0000 
I am writing a new ebuild for sci-libs/cpl-4.1.0 and I can't pass configuration
phase, because the script checks for libcfitsio.a file. I applied this patch to
the cfitsio-2.510-r1.ebuild and everything works fine:

Hi Marek,

The cfitsio-3.060.ebuild will already properly 
install the *.a libraries. Can you use this version 
instead? If at all possible stable ebuilds like
cfitsio-2.510-r1 should not be changed unless there's
a clear bug/security issue.

Thanks,
Markus

Unfortunately, I cannot use any other version as stated in
http://www.eso.org/sci/data-processing/software/cpl/download.html

Is this possible to put 2.510-r2 in portage tree?

Fair enough. Since it shouldn't do any harm I've added the 
installation of the static lib to the cfitsio-2.510-r1 ebuild.
Please let us know if there are any problems and good luck 
with the cpl ebuild.

Thanks,
Markus
