I'm almost finished with a mrouted ebuild. However, there is a slight problem with the licensing scheme. The debian people talked about it once upon a time, and the license is something like 'if you distribute modified copies, you must email a copy to STANFORD' which seems slightly unrealistic to me. The sucko thing is it has to be patched to compile properly on linux. So I am not sure that fall under modification and distribution. discussion here: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2003/debian-devel-200305/msg00133.html also the only place I was able to find semi recent sources was the debian people: http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/m/mrouted/ including the patch that modifies the source to compile under linux. one eratta, i can't get the mrouted.conf file to go into /etc/conf.d... it is in the script but emerge and friends does not pick it up for some unknown reason
attach what you have, so we can see it
whoa! weird... i thought i attached them last week. Odd... Ok, attaching them right now.
Created attachment 18134 [details] mrouted ebuild works except for installing conf file... for some unknown reason.
Created attachment 18135 [details] init script for mrouted
Created attachment 18136 [details] patch to allow compilation on linux
David, please attach an ebuild that has proper headers in it (copyright information and license)
so I've run into a couple of problems, and I'm not sure what the preferred way to deal with it is. the source package breaks gentoo package naming convention, the package from the debian-ites is mrouted_3.9-beta3.orig.tar.gz and for gentoo I switched the underscores to mrouted-3.9_beta3.orig.tar.gz but this screws up the SRC_URI line... so what is the standard procedure here ? as far as the license goes.. your going to need to add the 'Stanford' License to /usr/portage/licenses as it is different than all others in there: ----------- The mrouted program is covered by the following license. Use of the mrouted program represents acceptance of these terms and conditions. 1. STANFORD grants to LICENSEE a nonexclusive and nontransferable license to use, copy and modify the computer software ``mrouted'' (hereinafter called the ``Program''), upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set out and until Licensee discontinues use of the Licensed Program. 2.

Created attachment 18334 [details] updated mrouted ebuild this one uses the debian package name format, it just uses shell expansion to compensate. Builds fine on x86 and ppc, i've been putting it in portage/net-misc
Created attachment 18609 [details] mrouted-3.9_beta3.ebuild check this out for me and make sure it works ;)
