Bug 39914 – Eric Raymond's silly hex dumper (NEW)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Stefan Briesenick (RETIRED) 2004-01-30 15:26:53 UTC]

Hi!

Please find attached hexdump-1.6.ebuild. This "silly" hex dumper is my favorite and I use it all the time on my SuSE box (SuSE has a RPM included!). Now I want to use it also on my Gentoo box. ;-)

I suggest sys-apps/hexdump (because of sed, awk, grep, etc.).

Stefan.

would it be possible to include this silly small ebuild into portage?

thanks in advance!

Thanks Stefan, nice ebuild.

Three very minor points:

- There's no need for the src_unpack function -- the default does exactly what yours does.
- Don't remove $Header: $ from the skel.ebuild file -- keep the first 3 lines of the file intact.
- Submitter information goes in ChangeLog, but whoever commits to portage creates this.

Thanks for your contribution. It's now in CVS and should be propagating to the mirrors shortly.

Regards,

Tom
