net-proxy/cntlm -0.35.1 initial ebuild

[Comment 2 Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) 2008-05-04 12:01:51 UTC]

- stray space at the end of the description
- invalid license, have a look at /usr/portage/licenses
- keywords should be ~arch
- i've the idea r/dependencies might be missing

[Comment 3 Marek Miller 2008-05-22 21:47:35 UTC]

I've fixed the ebuild. And tested it on my x86.
The man page says that default configuration file for
a version compiled from source is /usr/local/etc/cntlm.conf,
so I suggest changing the Makefile and setting it to /etc/cntlm.conf 
(Without this the porgram prints error message:
     cntlm: Could not open default config file
)


I also browsed the homepage for dependencies and found:

"Cntlm has no dependencies. It uses ISO C99 and POSIX.1-2001 interface (i.e. SUSv3 / UNIX 03), and can be made POSIX.1c / SUSv2 / UNIX 98 or even older standards compliant (incl. other threading libraries). Compiles cleanly on any UNIX-like system (both little and big endian; GCC and IBM XL C/C++ being officially supported) having sane libc and POSIX threads."

proposed ebuild

I am submitting improved ebuild. It creates user and group 'cntlm' and also installs init.d and conf.d files.

sample /etc/init.d/cntlm

sample (i.e. _very_ stupid) /etc/init.d/cntlm
probably works

sample /etc/conf.d/cntlm

/etc/conf.d/cntlm compatible with my /etc/init.d/cntlm

[Comment 8 svrmarty 2010-02-24 09:43:21 UTC]

please add this ebuild,

it's very useful if net-proxy/ntlmaps doesn't work

[Comment 9 svrmarty 2010-02-24 10:26:25 UTC]

i suggest to change pid-file in init.d to directory /var/run/cntlm
to run it with user cntlm, cause it won't start without write permissions in /var/run
