hylafax ebuild seems broken, I get following: ---begin-quote---- linux root # emerge hylafax Calculating dependencies \ !!! ebuild net-misc/hylafax-cvs-000614-r1 not found (possibly blocked by package.mask) ---end-quote-----
i had the same problem so i changed the name of the ebuild in /usr/portage/net-misc/hylafax/ to hylafax-000614-r1.ebuild now emerge would start but i got following errors >>> emerge net-misc/hylafax-000614-r1 to / >>> Downloading http://www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/distfiles/hylafax-cvs- 000614.tar.bz2 --17:10:22-- http://www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/distfiles/hylafax-cvs-000614.tar.bz2 => `/usr/portage/distfiles/hylafax-cvs-000614.tar.bz2' Resolving www.ibiblio.org... done.

I got responsible for the bad workaround xtra proposed... The other way around is much better : (for those who tried renaming the .ebuild, which is certainly not enough, emerge --clean rsync...) mv /usr/portage/net-misc/hylafax /usr/portage/net-misc/hylafax-cvs and emerge hylafax-cvs did the trick for me...
right, just to give you all an update, I will be adding hylafax-4.1.2 to the portage tree. That one seems to be the newest stable. Currently, I am just making sure the initscript is gentoofified enough, before I commit it to portage. I will drop a note in here once I have added it.
Right gang, hylafax-4.1.2 is in portage. There were huge problems with it, which is why it took so long. You'll notice during fetch/compilation, that GNU/sed is retrieved. The reason for this is an upstream one. Hylafax can not configure with the version of sed that we have in portage. So, the older sed is fetched and built statically just for the configure stuff and to generate Makefiles. I tried to have it install things appropriately, but knowing nothing about hylafax, and being that I do not have a modem so I can not test it anyway, I _NEED_ you all to test this thing viciously and provide me feedback.
OK, there is a new sexy ebuild for hylafax-4.1.2, and it should emerge like a dream, really. And this time it is without getting the old sed, yadayada. Since that is the scope of this bug report, I am closing it. However, if there are errors in the way things have installed, etc, please re-open this bug report and let me know :)
