Attached file lzo.tar.gz contains an ebuild for lzo, which is used by the vtun tunneling software (ebuild to be uploaded shortly). According to its author, "LZO implements the fastest compression and decompression algorithms around". The only dependency (I hope :) is virtual/glibc. I suggest dev-libs/lzo.

Hi Bryce! The ebuild looks good. Have you tried to confirm the dependencies? I hope doesn't really cut it :) You can try: 1. Reading the docs, i.e. README, INSTALL, website, etc 2. 'ldd /usr/bin/lzo' to determine shared library dependencies, then use 'qpkg -f /usr/lib/<libfoo>' to find out which package the shared library comes from (if it isn't obvious) 3. Browse the Makefile This would lessen the load on the developer who is eventually assigned your ebuild and will expedite its inclusion in the portage tree.
Tod, Thanks for the tips. I have confirmed my hope (rueful grin) that glibc is the only dependency. But in the process, I found some other issues: - only static libraries were being built - the documentation and examples were not installed I was sloppy, since all I cared about was getting vtun (bug #1697) working. I have fixed these issues, but I get this error when I try to upload a new attachment: "No file was provided, or it was empty". I have included it here instead, hopefully this isn't an inconvenience... -Bryce # Copyright 1999-2002 Gentoo Technologies, Inc. # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License, v2 or later # Author Bryce Allen <ballen@mum.edu> S=${WORKDIR}/${P} DESCRIPTION="An extremely fast compression and decompression library" SRC_URI="http://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzo/download/${P}.tar.gz" HOMEPAGE="http://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzo/" DEPEND="virtual/glibc" src_compile() { ./configure \ --enable-shared \ --host=${CHOST} \ --prefix=/usr \ --infodir=/usr/share/info \ --mandir=/usr/share/man || die "./configure failed" emake || die } src_install () { make DESTDIR=${D} install || die cd ${S} dodoc AUTHORS BUGS COPYING ChangeLog INSTALL NEWS README THANKS doc/LZO* docinto examples dodoc examples/*.c examples/Makefile }
<pre> Ugg. Bugzilla hates me tonight (my last post was placed on one line, jumbling it beyond belief). Sorry for the useless comment, but I need to test the <pre> tag and hopefully repost my last comment with decent formatting. -Bryce </pre>

I'm closing this bug, because I just finished a cvs commit for an dev-libs/lzo ebuild. I used your (Bryce Allen's) ebuild almost verbatim.
