Bug 16783 – xstow-0.4.6.ebuild (new package)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

http://xstow.sourceforge.net
XStow is a C++ replacement/enhancement for GNU Stow.  It can work just like GNU
Stow, and each can unstow packages that were stowed by the other.   XStow can
also have global configuration via ini files, multiple stow directories,
shell/regex pattern matching, create symlinks with absolute paths (these will
break compatibility with GNU Stow), can be built static and run where there's no
perl, and, for me at least, unstows much faster than GNU Stow.

The ebuild also needs a patch for the configure script.  It doesn't provide an
easy way to select an ncurses library, and it tests for libcurses first and uses
it if found.  This is causing it to link the libcurses from /lib and the build
to fail.  The patch just removes the test for -lcurses completely, and causes it
to use libncurses only.
