Hello, (I'm french, sorry for my bad english, and by the way, this is my first submit) I attached ledit.tar.gz that contain ledit-1.11.ebuild. ledit, is a very usefull command, particulary for the Ocaml users (a very interesting programming language that is in the portage). I and many friends need this tool, so I have tried to make an ebuild. It i a line editor to be used with interactive commands. It is writen in OCaml an can be used to have a better interface when you run the Ocaml top-level : "ledit ocaml". But can be used for others purposes, for exemple with ftp/telnet when they dont understand arrow keys and/or backspace, and they ^&#^@* put ugly characters you cannot delete instead. It also call back previous entrys on uparrow/downarrow stroke. So I sugest app-misc/ledit. Oh, I have put the source tarball on a personnal web site, because i think the authors dont keep old versions on their site, they keep only : http://caml.inria.fr/distrib/bazar-ocaml/ledit.tar.gz Also, it is only a tool, an it has no homepage. but the ocaml one can suit if it is needed : www.ocaml.org. ledit depends only on the ocaml ebuild. thanks, I hope you will understand us. gim. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

Hi Gim. Thank you for your submission. Few remarks on the ebuild: 1. Please attach ebuilds as separate text files, not as a part of tar archive. This simplifies their processing. Also, please do not worry about digest and Manifest - I will recreate them anyway. 2. The ebuild is kmissing LICENSE and KEYWORDS, please add those (KEYWORDS should contain list of ~arch'es, for every architecture on which the ebuild has been tested. Most often it is simply KEYWORDS="~x86") 3. Are you willing to maintain the corresponding source tarball on your site or should I put it in special location here, so it gets propagated to mirrors? If you will keep the source, bear in mind that the tarball should be awailable under the present name for as long as the ebuild for the corresponding version is in portage. Other than that, the ebuild seems to be Ok and the package builds fine. George
Hi george, thanks for your answer. 1. I will take care of your advices the next time, thanks. Well, it's true it is easier to process plain/text. 2. I added KEYWORDS="~86" because it's the single arch where I test the ebuild, but it should work on sparcs and ppcs since ocaml work on them and ledit seems to use only ocaml features. (I dont have access to gentoo/sparcs or gentoo/ppcs so I can't test) About the license, it is very simple and I think "freedist" fits well. (you should check perhaps). That's what I put in the corrected ebuild. 3. I think, it would be better if the source tarball is propagated to the mirrors since my site server got small problems sometimes. hope my contribution will be usefull... gim.

The package is available at ftp://ftp.inria.fr/INRIA/Projects/cristal/Daniel.de_Rauglaudre/Tools/${P}.tar.gz and the original homepage is http://cristal.inria.fr/~ddr/. Thanks for the ebuild!
