conky ebuild using patch

I just patched the prss.c file, a declaration of "int i;".
Patch follows.

[Comment 2 Tom-Steve Watzke 2009-08-17 09:17:55 UTC]

Created attachment 201514 [details, diff]
patch declaring int i

Patch as mentioned. Next step: Closing Bug.

[Comment 3 Tom-Steve Watzke 2009-08-17 09:22:10 UTC]

Conky is emerged correctly with my patch. Please mark the Bug as resolved, if it works for you as well.

[Comment 4 Rodolphe Keller 2009-08-17 09:56:05 UTC]

It works perfectly for me, thank you for the patch.

I'll close it. But shouldn't that be done by the package maintainer after portage has being updated ? I don't know how that should work ...

[Comment 5 Frank Krömmelbein 2009-08-17 10:15:43 UTC]

Plese reopen the bug until a fix is provided in the tree.

[Comment 6 Rodolphe Keller 2009-08-17 10:19:54 UTC]

Ok. I reopen it.

[Comment 7 Wormo (RETIRED) 2009-08-18 07:13:30 UTC]

Thanks for the patch, assigning to conky maintainers.

[Comment 8 Brenden Matthews 2009-08-24 18:28:35 UTC]

This was already fixed in git, but thanks for the patch.  There should be a 1.7.2 shortly.

[Comment 9 Daniel Pielmeier 2009-09-02 21:48:13 UTC]

1.7.2 is out so closing this bug. Please reopen if there are still issues.
