Bug 127519 – Ebuild for lcdproc (live-cvs)

• Status: RESOLVED LATER
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description jannis 2006-03-25 04:24:12 UTC]

This ebuild (lcdproc-cvs-0.1.ebuild) fetches the sourcecode from the SF-CVS-servers

Created attachment 83079 [details]
lcdproc-cvs-0.1.ebuild

Actually it's my first ebuild that works, feel free to submit changes

Thanks, but there's already an ebuild in portage for lcdproc and our policy is to avoid live cvs ebuilds.

I know that there's allready a lcdproc ebuild (0.4.5) which is the latest stable one. But there are many drivers missing there and there have been many bugfixes so I feelt like "requesting" an ebuild and have written it myself. And I should mention the sentence "No problem shall ever be solved more than once", so I published it here beeing the best place to publish ebuilds.
And there are "stable" dosbox and dosbox-cvs ebuilds (just an example) so I don't see a problem here.
But thanks for the note.

Bumped to 0.5 in Portage. If you still feel that  a live ebuild is necessary, feel free to reopen
