Please add the iputils package, available from the same source as iproute. It includes important tools like ping6. Thanks!
care to submit an ebuild for it?
sascha?
Added to CVS. I can't get the html docs to compile, so I'm tossing this one back into the pool. (I haven't masked the package, since it does seem functional.)
Whoops, I forgot to close it. That's okay, since I would be reopening it anyway. *Sigh* I thought I at least had the man pages building, but apparently not. Anybody who knows anything about docbook _please_ jump in here.... From an email I got today from Philipp Morger: hi... i just tried to install the "official ebuild" - but failed to do so... nsgmls:../ping.sgml:219:31:E: element "REPLACEABLE" undefined nsgmls:../ping.sgml:220:11:E: element "LISTITEM" undefined nsgmls:../ping.sgml:220:17:E: element "PARA" undefined nsgmls:../ping.sgml:224:14:E: element "VARLISTENTRY" undefined nsgmls:../ping.sgml:225:7:E: element "TERM" undefined nsgmls:../ping.sgml:225:15:E: element "OPTION" undefined nsgmls:../ping.sgml:225:31:E: element "REPLACEABLE" undefined nsgmls:../ping.sgml:226:11:E: element "LISTITEM" undefined nsgmls:../ping.sgml:226:17:E: element "PARA" undefined nsgmls:../ping.sgml:228:12:E: element "REPLACEABLE" undefined nsgmls:../ping.sgml:229:12:E: element "REPLACEABLE" undefined nsgmls:../ping.sgml:230:12:E: element "REPLACEABLE" undefined nsgmls:../ping.sgml:231:12:E: element "REPLACEABLE" undefined nsgmls:../ping.sgml:235:14:E: element "VARLISTENTRY" undefined nsgmls:../ping.sgml:236:7:E: element "TERM" undefined nsgmls:I: maximum number of errors (200) reached; change with -E option Can't call method "value" on an undefined value at ../docbook2man-spec.pl line 297, <STDIN> line 22. make[1]: *** [arping.8] Error 29 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/iputils-020124/work/iputils/doc' make: *** [man] Error 2 !!!

iputils needs (at least) app-text/docbook-sgml-utils. Please add that to the dependencies.
Just FYI: I've tried to create an ebuild for iputils, but also did not get the docs to work, so I gave that one up for now. I'll rather mess around with some easier packages first. :)
Added dependency; with newest DocBook changes, it should work.
