Bug 261065 – www-apps/CDash - A web-based software testing server

• Status: CONFIRMED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Christoph Gysin 2009-03-03 14:01:38 UTC]

CDash is an open source, web-based software testing server. CDash aggregates, analyzes and displays the results of software testing processes submitted from clients located around the world. Developers depend on CDash to convey the state of a software system, and to continually improve its quality. CDash is a part of a larger software process that integrates Kitware's CMake, CTest, and CPack tools, as well as other external packages used to design, manage and maintain large-scale software systems. Good examples of a CDash are the CMake quality dashboard and the VTK quality dashboard.

I'm not sure what the policy is on uppercase package names. With a bit of trickery I could rename the ebuild to www-apps/cdash if you wish so.

Reassigning to maintainer-wanted.

Some notes concerning your ebuild:
Please put EAPI="2" as the first line after the ebuild's header and the inherit line right beneath the EAPI line.
Have a look at x11-themes/qtcurve-qt4 ebuilds for an example how to do it "the right way(tm)" ;)
