Bug 2333 – libcap-1.10.ebuild (New Package)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: VERIFIED FIXED

[Description Francisco Gimeno 2002-05-02 07:27:27 UTC]

I have build my first ebuild... Libcap it's a needed library for others packages like all the 
nexus one ( especially libgsound ). Libcap is a library to provide Posix 1e capabilities to linux. 
I think I'm going to make some packages more... 
 
I think that libcap should be in devs-libs. This ebuild depend on kernel 2.4, but I didn't know 
how to make the dependencies... ( RDEPEND maybe? ) 
 
Thx.

added EBUILD keyword for the moment, waiting for response from reporter after posting on -dev ML.

[Comment 6 Robin Johnson 2003-04-29 13:58:55 UTC]

ebuild comments from -dev posting:
add SLOT, add KEYWORDS, add IUSE, 'use foo' statement style, use PATCHES="..."
instead of patch+src_unpack, local variable declarations, unnessicary
statement block in src_install, broken homepage URI, ALL documentation
with the package should be installed (manpages and even the guys pgp
key) , einstall instead of 'make install' and most importantly, include a ChangeLog for the ebuild!

Great! it works wel, using it to build current jack from cvs with capabilities (with USE=-python) 

[Comment 8 Robin Johnson 2003-05-03 19:21:04 UTC]

Francisco: I have come across a few more things using libcap myself now, so just fix the ebuild with the issues mentioned in my note on 2003-04-29, and I will commit the package.

[Comment 9 Robin Johnson 2003-05-09 16:05:39 UTC]

ebuild will be in the tree shortly, waiting for a response from -core and -dev on the license, as it is not the GPL-2 license in this package.

commited to CVS.
it's sys-libs/libcap.

If you have access to alternate non-x86 arches, please test it and report back.
