After emerging net-misc/hamachi i couldn't get any further using it, because the commands 'hamachi, hamachi start, hamachi-init,..' didn't do anything at all. No errors, no indication what's wrong. Found the solution @ a forum/wiki after hours playing around. If the 'hamachi' command shows no output the hamachi executable should get extracted by app-arch/upx or app-arch/upx-ucl, which solved the problem for me. /opt/bin/upx -d /usr/bin/hamachi The net-misc/hamachi - ebuild should contain a hint or advise when the commands have no output, that app-arch/upx or app-arch/upx-ucl are needed and can be used to extract hamachi (upx packed) executable and possibly prevent others looking for hours only to find the solution. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge net-misc/hamachi 2.try to start it (hamachi start) 3.nothin happens, no output Actual Results: couldn't use hamachi Expected Results: working hamachi vpn :)
Hey, darkside. Really nice offering, much appreciated! :) This one is quite trivial, I already provided the necessary information. Just a little hint/advise in the hamachi ebuild is sufficient here. --8< snip >8--- "If the 'hamachi' command shows no output, use the following command to extract the hamachi executable either with app-arch/upx or app-arch/upx-ucl:" /opt/bin/upx -d /usr/bin/hamachi --8< snip >8--- It works for me, tested it quite a while ago and is still valid. Please commit it. Have a nice day/weekend :)

Can this not be done by the ebuild?
