redhat seems to have created this, so I've adapted the ebuild which installed tmpwatch 
from a source rpm.

is there are reason why you didn't use the tarball version from their official homepage ? http://www.whatsis.com/pstack/

[Comment 3 kevin 2003-06-13 17:01:40 UTC]

yes, ignorance! :) 

[Comment 4 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) 2003-06-14 02:44:56 UTC]

heh, could you please resubmit an ebuild that uses the tarball rather than rpm?

also, please have a read of http://cvs.gentoo.org/~liquidx/ebuildmistakes.html and fix some of the problems listed like missing header, invalid LICENSE.

thanks

ok, here is the fixed ebuild which uses the tarball instead of the rpm. the
package doesn't use automake, it just has a trivial Makefile with it. near as I
can tell, this is the source for version 1.0.

also, I put in the missing header & went through the 'common ebuild writing mistakes' page.

thank you for chasing up those issues. i've added this to portage now in dev-util/pstack
