lmbench 3.0 has been released (ages ago). Please bump this ebuild to 3.0 I tried doing this, the first problem was that you have to set MY_P to lmbench3. I don't know the most elegant solution to do this. And even then, there are some modifications in the makefile, so those need to be sorted out too. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
name the ebuild lmbench-3.ebuild set MY_P to ${PN}${PV} if you have a working ebuild that would be great. Feel free to ask for help on #gentoo-dev-help on the freenode irc network.
added - let me know if you have problems with it.
Thanks daniel, it works fine. But shouldn't the version in portage be named 3.0, as opposed to just 3?
upstream authors called it version 3 so i'll call it the same http://www.bitmover.com/lmbench/get_lmbench.html
Hm, I get your point. However, how to deal with the alpha package then? Should that be removed or what? Cause that one gets preferred right now. Maybe rename to lmbench-3_alpha3?
your quite right with the ordering of which is latest. options: 1. make 3 stable in 15 days or so and remove the old one? 2. some funny numbering thing i'm keen on option 1.
well, the funny numbering thing could be funny and exciting too. so why not :P btw, can't 3.0_alpha3 be renamed to 3_alpha3? if not, then wait a few days (might not be needed imo, but i guess that's just standard procedure) and remove the alpha version.
