• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Michael Ihde 2004-04-16 13:06:34 UTC]

This is a kwiki ebuild.  While g-cpan.pl may work (kwiki is part of CPAN) this ebuild will also set up apache.

This ebuild hardcodes a presupposed path for perl 5.8.2 (that 5.8.2 was dominant when it was written is no excuse - ebuilds shouldn't hardcode a perl version unless the package will *ONLY* work with a specific version of perl); uses site_perl instead of vendor_perl; fails to install any of the documentation. You might want to inherit perl-modules from the eclasses and abuse that to some degree - while you will still need to do your webserver version checks and kwiki specific checking, it'll save you a lot of headaches in regards to installing the perl module on a gentoo box (and lessen the responsibility - easier to blame the eclass).

11 months, no fixes, no comments - no go. reopen if you want.
