Description Ramon 2010-04-13 08:20:50 UTC

fping builds for me on x64-macos and works for me after I modified permissions.
It needs to be suid for root, prefix installs it as my localuser setuid

Reproducible: Always

That is not possible via ebuild in Gentoo Prefix, we better mask it.

Comment 2 Ramon 2010-04-13 15:19:02 UTC

Too bad, it'll block smokeping which I was working on....

Adding a prefix specific info message at the end of the ebuild is not an acceptable solution ?
fping itself works fine as long as you run it with root-privileges

The point is, we don't want to have "half-working" ebuilds in the tree. We normally mask applications that work but require root privs to run. (See last 7 lines of $EPREFIX/usr/portage/profiles/prefix/package.mask ). So, it won't block any work on smokeping for you, it will just have to masked as well.
