Is it possible to add the SKS OpenPGP Key Server to the Gentoo distribution? It is hosted primary on http://www.nongnu.org/sks/ has got a Savannah page http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/sks/ and you can download it from http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/sks/ The Debian GNU/Linux distribution has got this package, too. :-) Reproducible: Always

Maybe it would be helpful. > default src_unpack already does the work so no need to override it in the ebuild. Since this is a server/daemon it probably needs an initscript. See Initscripts part[1] for how to write initscripts. 1: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2&chap=4

Created attachment 176959 [details, diff] s/killall/pidfile/ This fixes the killall command -- uses pidfile instead.
Created attachment 225821 [details] Adoption of the old ebuild+patch for new version I adapted the ebuild for 1.1.1 and changed the following: * append "-j1" to MAKEOPTS, because the build process fails with parallel make * change the install routine to use the correct PREFIX. DESTDIR is not evaluated by the Makefile * dev/libs/db:4.6 seems to be a hard requirement, did not build with 4.7
Created attachment 226077 [details] further improved ebuild Changed a few things on the new ebuild: * DB version 4.7 works if we set the appropriate option in Makefile.local. So find out installed DB version and set this option. * ocaml *must* be the specific version, newer one seems not to work Also, added a working init-script, the old one cannot work. I use this ebuild and init/conf-scripts on a production system on amd64 without problems.

Some things before this can make it's way into portage. - Hard dep on a specific version is a no-go, this will cause an up/downgrade-loop. Report it upstream. - The MAKEOPTS-thing is a workaround, not a fix. Please report this upstream and put a link into the ebuild to the upstream bug report. Also, MAKEOPTS should be set outside a function. - The sys-libs/db-workaround makes no sense, it's a hacky workaround for a non-problem. bdb/Makefile contains LIBDB=-ldb-4.6, patch this (just remove the version), send the patch upstream. - If the Makefile doesn't support DESTDIR, create a patch, send it upstream.
