There are several problems with all the versions of taylor uucp available in portage. I'm not sure addressing the 1.06 version is even worth it (though it is closer to being correctly configured). To fix the 1.07 version, is pretty straight forward and this version seems to be a bit better anyway. Things that need fixing The configure line somehow got merged with the make line in the ebuild. They should be on separate lines. The configure line should include --prefix=/usr --with-newconfigdir=/etc/uucp The gentoo patch file gentoo-uucp-1.07.patch should change LOCKDIR to /var/lock/uucp instead of /var/log/subsys. It would be nice if the ebuild created /var/log/uucp /var/lock/uucp
I agree, fixed in cvs. Thanks for the bug report.
