updated ebuild for synaptics

What did you change?  Please attach a patch against the original (diff -u)
rather than the whole ebuild.

Created attachment 74650 [details, diff]
diff to existing ebuild

[Comment 4 Joshua Baergen (RETIRED) 2005-12-13 10:27:24 UTC]

Modules are installed in /usr/lib{,64}/xorg/modules/input as of 7.0, so your
patch will break things for upcoming X versions.  Probably could do with a
conditional on exeinto.

[Comment 5 Andrew de Quincey 2005-12-13 12:57:22 UTC]

Shall I do another patch or do you want to look into it? 

[Comment 6 Joshua Baergen (RETIRED) 2005-12-13 14:20:38 UTC]

I'll let seemant handle that.  He's been doing the work on this package recently...

[Comment 7 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) 2005-12-13 14:48:38 UTC]

will fix tomorrow morning

[Comment 8 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) 2005-12-15 13:37:56 UTC]

0.14.4-r1 in portage -- please verify.

[Comment 9 Andrew de Quincey 2005-12-16 02:14:59 UTC]

Looks fixed to me - correct .o/.so installed with -dlloader/+dlloader useflags.

thanks Andrew, now to see why the other bugs don't work.
