Attached is a new ebuild and diffs from version 0.16 of md5deep. I've added in the ability to specify the type of files to have the program check. Also submitting the change to md5deep's author for inclusion in his next release if he desires.
Created attachment 12476 [details] New Ebuild
Created attachment 12477 [details] Necessary patches for enhanced functionality
were these patches submitted to the author of md5deep for consideration? i'll take a look at these as soon as time permits
Submitted to author, no reply yet. Functionality was added as the program would hang on certain types of files. These patches allow for selection of types of files to be checked.
Author is including in next version of md5deep with minor changes.
sounds good to me .. give me some time and i'll put it into portage.
is it possible for you to merge those patches into one patch and make is using -u ? thanks
Let's just close out this bug. I received an alpha of version 1.0 of md5deep from the author with these changes shortly after he accepted my changes. He should be releasing a new version on sourceforge soon I would presume. I'll just create a new ebuild and submit a new bug at that point.
i haven't seen any new releases for md5deep for a while. we'll reopen this when it happens.
