passgen-9999.ebuild

Hi!

Please find the attached passgen-9999.ebuild for a very simple, pipe-able, high security command-line password generator. The author hasn't specified any versions, but does actively add small improvements to a github repository, so that is why the ebuild is for 9999.

I recommend this package because it's built by a security researcher for a very specific task and it does it well. 

I wanted to use this on my systems, so naturally I wanted portage to track it. Since I created an ebuild for it, I wanted to share it. :-)

Thanks

app-admin/passgen-1.0.ebuild

I spoke with the author on twitter (https://twitter.com/mitzip/status/445073161701191680) and we no have an amd64 stable version 1.0 in the git repo.

This attachment is to install the stable v1.0 tag from the git repo in github. It's marked as stable only on amd64 in the ebuild.

After acquiring a stable 1.0, the 9999 ebuild needed to be masked.

Attaching new passgen-9999.ebuild that makes the previous one obsolete.

This would be a nice addition for generating pronouncable passwords and integrating with app-admin/pass. Anyone up for filing a Pull Request for portage tree on github https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pulls
