Created attachment 42685 [details, diff]
putty-noX.patch

This patch disables building of the X-dependent binaries (putty pterm
puttytel).
I believe it will bail on install as these binaries will be missing.

Will test it and attach an ebuild patch later.

Are you guys kidding me?

[Comment 3 Tobias Sager 2004-10-27 05:24:42 UTC]

:-) He asked for it.
Putty is not only "putty". That's why.

Is this bug a joke?

[Comment 5 Radoslaw Stachowiak (RETIRED) 2005-08-11 08:13:15 UTC]

No it's not a joke. There is need for the puttygen application for example on
machines without X server.

Okay, done. Please report if it fails, I believe it should work.
