Bug 3960 – mtx-1.2.16.ebuild (new package)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Josh Timmons 2002-06-20 20:42:55 UTC]

Good morning.  
  
Please find the attached mtx-1.2.16.ebuild file.  
  
mtx is a set of utilities that allows the user to control SCSI media changers  
and tape drives.  A user would need this package if they had a cartridge based  
tape drive and wanted to programmatically load and unload tapes from the  
cartridge.   
 
I believe it should be in app-arch/mtx, which puts it near the associated 
app-arch/mt-st

I've just wanted to submit an ebuild for 1.3.1. ;) 
 
It could be found at 
 
http://cvs.berlios.de/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/gentoo-deutsch/ebuilds/sys-apps/mtx/ 
 
And I would suggest sys-apps as categorie (as I would do for mt-st). 
 
Regards, 
 
Alexander

I've just find out that 1.3.1 doesn't work with kernel 2.4. And because the 
supplied ebuild for 1.2.16 doesn't work, I've submitted an ebuild for 1.2.17 
at berlios (see above url).

Hi, 1.31 won't work with -O3 (I've send eric a bug report with fix), but 
because the output of 1.31 isn't very nice compared with 1.27 I would  
prefer 1.27.

PS: Searching for this bug, I've found two duplicates: 7207 and 8861

To everyone who submitted the ebuilds for this package, they all stank like old
cheese, I had to combine elements from all 3 of them, and do some fixing of my
own to make them kewl for addition to portage **keep in mind I just woke up, so
I'm crabby** please look at the final version when you get it in rsync and use
it as an example for your future ebuilding.

Thanks for the submission nonetheless, this package is something that apparently
a lot of people have been waiting for.

Perl freaks often are saying "There's More Than One Way To Do It". 
 
Sorry, can't resist. ;) 
 
Anyway, I would install the hmtl with dohtml, not dodoc.
