The new minicom ebuild fails because it cannot find a default serial port using the old names (/dev/ttyS*). Please either fix it to look for the DevFS names, too, or use the --enable-dfl-port configure option. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -u minicom 2. 3.

So long, and thanks for all the fish
Can you tell me if you still see this?
Yes, it still fails to build: [...] checking for com line lock directory... /var/lock checking for default serial port device... configure: error: No suitable default serial port !!! ERROR: net-dialup/minicom-2.00.0 failed. !!! Function econf, Line 304, Exitcode 1 !!! econf failed
not sure what to do from here, handing back to bug-wranglers I'm afraid
Minicom 2.1 solves this problem amongst others. I'll submit an updated ebuild once http://alioth.debian.org/projects/minicom/ is responding. btw. alioth.debian.org/projects/minicom/ is the new homepage for minicom.
Created attachment 15673 [details] Minicom 2.1 ebuild Bumped version to 2.1 and changed homepage + src_uri. Sascha could you test this? The ebuild emerges succesfully but I don't have a modem around anymore.

OK, 2.1 is on ibiblio.org now and works fine on both of my systems. Thanks!
