Created attachment 94385 [details] rflickr-20060201 ebuild Note that this package depends on dev-ruby/mime-types: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=143553
Now in the Sunrise overlay: http://www.gentoo-sunrise.org/sunrise/browser/reviewed/dev-ruby/rflickr
This package has been tested quite successfully with (on-coming) g-gem, an ebuild generator for gems. Once I release g-gem, I will reconsider this package and add it if g-gem can't handle it.
Since this ebuild depends on dev-ruby/mime-types I've made the bug depend on the bug for dev-ruby/mime-types.
By the way, Graaff if you want to take these bugs away from me, feel free to do so ;)
These kind of bugs for plain gem packages seem to be in limbo a bit pending the arrival of g-gem. Do you think it makes sense to wait a bit longer for g-gem, or is this no feasible in the short term. If that is the case then I can take these bugs and put the ebuilds into CVS as I have them in my overlay now anyway.
I have little time in the next months so time for g-gem will be near zero. Moreover, we have waited for it for too long. If you could add it to CVS, please do.
regardless of the introduction of g-gem, dev-ruby will still go the route of dev-perl, where packages that are a dependancy for something else must be added to the tree.
I don't think anything depends on this at the moment (other than my own rails project in my company overlay), but I'll add it anyway. Especially useful since there are two flickr gems, but only this one still appears to work correctly.
rflickr-20060201 is now in CVS.
