when using mrtg 2.9.21 (latest in portage) with perl-5.8.0-r6: Can't locate package $VERSION for @MRTG_lib::ISA at /usr/bin/mrtg line 59 main::BEGIN() called at /usr/bin/../lib/mrtg2/MRTG_lib.pm line 59 eval {...} called at /usr/bin/../lib/mrtg2/MRTG_lib.pm line 59 mrtg 2.9.22 fixed this problem; from <http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/pub/CHANGES>: From: Tobi * removed VERSION for ISA arry in MRTG_lib.pm ... it has no reason to be there, and perl 5.8 complains latest stable mrtg is 2.9.25 available at: http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/pub/ a newer version of mrtg needs to be added to portage.
Created attachment 6677 [details] mrtg-2.9.25.ebuild I have successfully built, installed, and tested mrtg using the attached ebuild. This resolves the author's complaints.
Rajiv, Reread this. Testing and putting into portage.
It appears to emerge just fine, now in portage. Curious why you didn't approach this yourself since you are a dev (and I have nothing to do with mrtg). Anywho, it's in there.
fixed
re comment #3: so far i've been working only on ppc documentation. just now getting into ebuilds. i didn't feel comfortable enough yet to make that big of a change to an ebuild.
