Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-12-31 17:39:08 UTC
At least they document the changes, I don't know if libdnet ever merged those back, it might be worth looking at that.
Comment 1 Michal Januszewski (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-01-03 11:32:42 UTC
I just had a quick look and it appears that all/most of the changes are not included in libdnet-1.11.
Comment 2 Michal Januszewski (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-09-26 10:20:23 UTC
I don't think there is any way we can fix this currently.  The modifications made in the nmap version include some fixes and a patch that adds support for SCTP.  Nmap won't compile against a libdnet which doesn't have this patch, and it's not included in the upstream version (yet).
Comment 3 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-08-01 15:32:02 UTC
What I found out about disentangling the bundled libs so far:

1) libdnet-stripped is hard-coded in various C headers and elsewhere
2) dev-libs/libdnet-1.12 supports SCTP, so we should be able to fairly easily switch, if it
   weren't for 1).
3) liblinear[1] is not in the tree
4) autotools changes are difficult (e.g. [2])


I made some initial progress but then I got tired and threw away my work in disgust. This isn't going to be easy.

>=dev-lang/lua-5.2 is still package.masked.

    net-analyzer/nmap: migrate to lua-single.eclass
    
    The live ebuild, the latest release currently in the tree and the latest
    release available under the GPL. In all three cases, upstream build
    scripts require version 5.3 of Lua and while they do not use pkgconfig,
    they check for versioned files/directories first.
    
    IUSE=system-lua is still there but defaults to enabled now.

Comment 7 Marek Szuba archtester gentoo-dev 2020-12-27 00:07:16 UTC
nmap can now build against system Lua, all that remains to be done is to move its USE=system-lua mask from package.use.mask to package.use.stable.mask.

    profiles/base: drop obsolete nmap[system-lua] mask
    
    We've had fixed Lua since about 2020 in Gentoo (proper eclasses & slotting).
    
    Marecki already did the hard work here including porting nmap's ebuilds.

    net-analyzer/nmap: tidy up system-lua logic
    
    In 5bb392d690d47baf051b7efaea990a0afda25618, we unmasked system-lua, but iamben
    points out the REQUIRED_USE logic was backwards here where system-lua needed
    nse on rather than the other way around.
    
    Fix that by just dropping system-lua as a flag, so we now always use the
    system Lua if we need it (i.e. if we're building nse).
