Hi,
There's a new version (2.0.3) available of the shntool multi-purpose wave data processing and reporting utility. See website for more details.
Newest in portage at the moment is 1.2.3.
I tested it by just renaming the ebuild, and it worked flawlessly.
Please update the ebuild. :)
Thanks,
--jussi
PS:
It seems that shntool does not necessarily need flac or shorten as a dependency. shntool only tries to invoke them from PATH and uses them only as helper applications (see website). I think it would be better to use:
IUSE="shorten flac"
DEPEND="shorten? ( media-sound/shorten )
flac? ( media-sound/flac )"
(However, there's no such USE-flag "shorten" specified in use.desc.)
Maybe more IUSEs and DEPENDs can be added too, like media-sound/sox and media-sound/wavpack (this one's currently masked) (see econf snip).
Of course, if you want that emerging shntool makes it do what it is supposed to do, to manipulate shorten/flac files, the current solution would suffice.
Snip from the econf process:
[...]
checking for shorten... no
** install shorten at any time for .shn file support
checking for flac... no
** install flac at any time for .flac file support
checking for sox... no
** install sox at any time for .aiff file support
checking for mac... yes
checking for ofr... no
** install ofr at any time for .ofr file support
checking for lpac... no
** install lpac at any time for .pac file support
checking for wvunpack... no
** install wavpack at any time for .wv file support
[...]
By quick look, mac, ofr and lpac are not currently in the portage, so there is no much use to include them as IUSE or otherwise.
