Bugzilla Bug 47943

"Ruby/Amazon is a Ruby language library that allows programmatic access to the
popular Amazon Web site via the REST (XML over HTTP) based Amazon Web Services.
In addition to the original amazon.com site, the amazon.co.uk, amazon.de and
amazon.co.jp properties are also supported."

The package can make use of net-geoip (the Ruby bindings for GeoIP), which I
also submitted today:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47941

One problem: either I'm too stupid too do it, or there is no configure option
for net-geoip, although the program's homepage says "Additionally, Ruby/Amazon
can make use of MaxMind's GeoIP library.". Maybe it's autodetected? Anyway, I
added it as a local useflag (geoip). That could be interesting in regards to
this bug

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47132

asking for geoip to become a global flag.

ruby-amazon is a dependancy for the Alexandria book collection manager for
GNOME which I submit in a few minutes.

Created an attachment (id=29353) [details]
ruby-amazon-0.8.1.ebuild

Merges and unmerges fine on ~x86

Oops, it should have been other way round...

I've just committed net-geoip, so we can add this package next.
You ebuild works fine, but didn't you forget to include ebuild header?

Also, LICENSE isn't GPL2 but  GPL-2 -- LICENSE must be one of
/usr/portage/licenses/*, just FYI ;)

Yes, I know. These mistakes were common in the first versions of all the
ebuilds in submitted the day, somehow that's the only one I forgot to fix.
Sorry!

No worries ;) Just added ebuild header and fixed LICENSE field, 
and then committed to CVS. Thanks for the report.
