Bug 147978 – net-misc/sendfile ~amd64 keyword request

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Volker Wegert 2006-09-17 12:37:27 UTC]

Is there a special reason why net-misc/sendfile is keyworded to x86 and ppc only and not at least -amd64 or ~amd64? I'd like to use sendfile on an amd64 box - will provide info on whether it's working :-)

[Comment 1 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2006-09-17 12:38:15 UTC]

So try it and reopen if it works.

[Comment 2 Volker Wegert 2006-09-17 13:05:31 UTC]

Works for me - just sent several megs from an x86 to ym amd64 box without problems or file corruption.

[Comment 3 Christoph Mende (RETIRED) 2006-09-21 14:57:56 UTC]

there's a missing dependency when executing fetchfile -I:
sh: pgp: command not found
%fetchfile-Fatalerror: pgp call failed : No such file or directory

[Comment 4 Olivier Crete (RETIRED) 2006-10-14 14:52:55 UTC]

well.. you probably need pgp if you want pgp... 

[Comment 5 Volker Wegert 2006-10-15 02:58:46 UTC]

Sorry, this is not what the initial bug report was about, please re-check both title and initial post. The question was whether net-misc/sendfile could be moved from ~amd64 to amd64, Christoph Mende just "hijacked" this entry.

[Comment 6 Christoph Mende (RETIRED) 2006-10-15 05:25:59 UTC]

Well, I tested it, to see if it's stable - ran into that missing dep or whatever. BTW I do have gnupg-1.4.5 and gnupg-1.9.21 installed, tried to tell sendfile to use gpg instead of pgp which didn't work. And IMHO there shouldn't be any packages in a stable branch that are missing dependencies ;)

Full ACK, but this dependency problem is not amd64 specific - the dependency just isn't there, for none of the architectures...

[Comment 8 Steve Dibb (RETIRED) 2006-12-02 16:51:33 UTC]

broken deps, no maintainer, sending to treeclaners

[Comment 9 Volker Wegert 2006-12-03 02:56:15 UTC]

Wonderful.

Did you want it ~amd64 or stable on amd64?

cause it was ~arched in October..

ãmd64 is fine with me - I use it frequently and I'm not experiencing any problems, but I'm not a maintainer (and currently don't have the time to become one).
