This ebuild is for the recent ctypes 0.9.9.3 release, this release fixes a number of bugs on AMD64, particularly should close: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=117998 and may eliminate the problem described in: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=120360 though that bug suggests the problems are elsewhere (though the fixed bugs in ctypes would solve the problems described there). Changelog: 20 Feb 2006; Mike Fletcher <mcfletch@vrplumber.com> ctypes-0.9.9.3.ebuild +ctypes-0.9.9.3.ebuild 0.9.9.3 fixes bugs on AMD64, ~amd64 added Includes previous patch in the upstream sources
Created attachment 80241 [details] Ebuild for the 0.9.9.3 release
Hmm, too strong a statement at the end of the description: 0.9.9.3 solves a number of segfault problems, but most of them were seen well after the library had loaded, haven't seen the failure-on-load behaviour.
Version bumped, thanks for reporting. I have not added the amd64 keyword and have not closed the other bugs because I'm on x86. I'll look into them or have someone look into them later.
