Description Karl Hakimian 2003-10-23 06:40:25 UTC
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
