Bug 39089 – new ebuild: acovea

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Peter Gantner (a.k.a. nephros) 2004-01-22 18:18:22 UTC]

People on the forums[1][2] talked about this, so I figured I'd hack together a quick ebuild.
People interested in the topic might find it useful.

Note that the author chose to use a special (but IMO Free enough, though RMS would certainly bitch about it :)) License for their program. My ebuild currently ewarns about this.

could be nice

The web site and source code are offline (probably due to slashdotting), but user GenKiller currently mirrors it:

Here's the google cache of the home page in case someone wants to read up:

There's a new version of acovea out: acovea-4.0.0

It uses autotools, so it's very friendly.  They build nicely; I'm running the following script now (will take a very long time) :

-------
BENCHES="alma evo fft huff lin mat1 tree"
 
for bench in $BENCHES; do
        echo ""
        echo "*** $bench ***"
        time runacovea -config gcc33_pentium4.acovea -bench ${bench}bench.c\
                1> ${bench}.run 2> ${bench}.err
done
-------

I have made the following ebuilds:

sys-devel/acovea-4.0.0.ebuild
dev-libs/libcoyotl-3.0.1.ebuild
dev-libs/libevocosm-2.5.2.ebuild

and they are attached thusly ...

When will this finally make it into portage?

[Comment 10 Travis Tilley (RETIRED) 2004-04-22 04:47:23 UTC]

why is this assigned to gcc-porting? is there porting work that needs to be done?

[Comment 11 Daniel Ahlberg (RETIRED) 2004-05-07 10:31:18 UTC]

I didn't see this bug before I commited. Anyway, it's in CVS now.
