I have modified the tree's ebuild to support gentoo/freebsd (I think). In files dir there is a patch (configure-gentoo.patch) that: - patch the tree.c - add autotools' files bye comio
Created attachment 68119 [details] ebuild + patch The ebuild's tree (ebuild + support files)
Created attachment 68120 [details, diff] diff between tree-1.5.0.ebuild and tree-1.5.0-r1.ebuild diff
Created attachment 68121 [details, diff] Patch for the tree's sources
For such a big change, I think it's better to wait for upstream to decide. Feel free to reopen if upstream is going to do the change.
