version bump

[Comment 1 Dan Foster 2006-08-27 10:13:40 UTC]

I can confirm that I tested SIMH version 3.6.1 with a Portage overlay.

No change is needed from the 3.5.2 ebuild.

All you have to do is:

$ cp simh-3.5.2.ebuild simh-3.6.1.ebuild
$ wget http://simh.trailing-edge.com/sources/simhv36-1.zip
(then commit simhv36-1.zip to Gentoo mirrors)
$ ebuild simh-3.6.1.ebuild digest

Could someone commit this to Portage if they agree?

SIMH 3.6 and later adds significant support for the VAX 11/780 system, which is necessary for booting early versions of VAX/VMS (amongst other things).

If desired, the 3.6 and 3.6.1 changelog can be found here:

I can confirm this too, SIMH 3.6.1 compiling and running fine on x86.
If a package mantainer is needed, I might be willing to do the work, although I don't really know what's required of a package maintainer :)

I have just compiled simh-3.7.0 on x86 and seems to be working ok.
Just
---
# cp simh-3.6.1.ebuild simh-3.7.0.ebuild
# ebuild simh-3.7.0.ebuild digest
# emerge simh
---
did the trick!

I've added 3.7.0 to the tree.
