Description WiseLYNX 2008-03-04 17:37:21 UTC
vmscd is a small utility that reads the contents of any OpenVMS CD-ROM or more generally any ODS-2 disk volume. Although the code is quite old, it compiled and run perfectly (tested with a disk image done with dd)

the original page reported in the README is not reachable right now, so I refer both here and in the ebuild to another page found by googling around.

Reproducible: Always




the software has been tested on an x86 machine. please note that it's expressely said in the README (or was it the Makefile?) that this code works only on little endian CPUs.

(this is an automated message based on filtering criteria that matched this bug)
'EBUILD' is in the KEYWORDS which should mean that there is a ebuild attached 
to this bug.
This bug is assigned to maintainer-wanted which means that it is not in the 
main tree.
Heuristics show that no Gentoo developer has commented on your ebuild.

Hello, The Gentoo Team would like to firstly thank you for your ebuild 
submission. We also apologize for not being able to accommodate you in a timely
manner. There are simply too many new packages.

Allow me to use this opportunity to introduce you to Gentoo Sunrise. The 
sunrise overlay[1] is a overlay for Gentoo which we allow trusted users to 
commit to and all users can have ebuilds reviewed by Gentoo devs for entry 
into the overlay. So, the sunrise team is suggesting that you look into this 
and submit your ebuild to the overlay where even *you* can commit to. =)

Because this is a mass message, we are also asking you to be patient with us. 
We anticipate a large number of requests in a short time. 

Thanks,
On behalf of the Gentoo Sunrise Team,
Jeremy.
