Description Jacob Smullyan 2004-06-03 08:13:12 UTC

The latest 4suite ebuild has two problems:

The variable MY_P is misdeclared and could never work; it is defined in terms of MY_P and not of P, and thus is empty.  (Perhaps the distutils eclass used to define MY_P and then stopped doing so?  Otherwise I can't imagine how this ebuild could ever have been checked in, much less marked stable.)

Also, a little tweak needed to be added to fix MY_P; the tarball is 4Suite*, not 4suite*.

The ftp site at 4suite.org has been down for some time; although their website is unclear about it, the downloads are now at sourceforge.
