Description jdel9 2011-03-17 23:33:43 UTC
There are no ebuilds for the tool found here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/idle3-tools/

However one can be made with the 'default' compile/make/install type steps.

Experimental .ebuild files have been created, and the resulting binary works.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Check equery list -o -p idle3-tools
2. Finds Nothing
3. Make own ebuild...
Actual Results:  
No ebuild in the portage tree or elsewhere...


Expected Results:  
The ebuild should be present in the unstable branch at least...
The idle3-tools work, correctly and even seem to install in the right place.

This is a very useful tool that should be present part of portage/gentoo.

Its trivial to make an ebuild for, even I (a rank noobie) made a functional one that compiled and worked correctly.

(Gentoo i686 GCC 4.3 ? ish...)

I'm also very interested.
@jdel9@yahoo.ca: could you provide your ebuild so I can also use the idle3-tool and test it on amd64?

I already use(d) this tool on my DiskStation, see http://forum.synology.com/enu/viewtopic.php?f=124&t=37967

Thanks.
