sunxi-tools 0.1 ebuild

Hi!

Please find attached sunxi-tools-0.1.ebuild. Sunxi tools help hacking Allwinner A10 devices, contains following binaries:
fexc:
	`.fex` file (de)compiler

	Usage: ./fexc [-vq] [-I <infmt>] [-O <outfmt>] [<input> [<output>]]

	infmt:  fex, bin  (default:fex)
	outfmt: fex, bin  (default:bin)

bin2fex:
	compatibility shortcut to call `fexc` to decompile an script.bin
	blob back into `.fex` format used by allwinner's SDK to configure
	the boards.

fex2bin:
	compatiblity shortcut to call `fexc` to compile a `.fex` file into
	the binary form used by the sun4i kernel.

fel:
	script interface for talking to the FEL USB handler built in to
	th CPU. You activate FEL mode by pushing the usboot/recovery
	button at poweron.

bootinfo:
	Dump information from Allwinner boot files (boot0/boot1)
	--type=sd	include SD boot info
	--type=nand	include NAND boot info (not implemented)

phoenix_info:
	gives information about a phoenix image created by the
	phoenixcard utility and optionally extracts the embedded boot
	code & firmware file from their hidden partitions.
pio:
	Manipulate PIO register dumps


I will maintain this ebuild.
Regards,
Alexey

Why not version 1.2?

That doesn't look like what you get from the HOMEPAGE at all.

Also, don't hard-code the package name and version:

sunxi-tools-0.1 => ${P} (short for ${PN}-${PV})

$(usex debug 'DEBUG=1' '') (see below)

What changes if you run the default src_configure()? If nothing, then why define src_configure() at all?

>src_compile(){
>    emake tools CHOST="" CC="$(tc-getCC)" CFLAGS="${CFLAGS}" $(check_debug) || die

$(check_debug) => $(usex debug 'DEBUG=1' '')

emake does die() on its own.

emake does die() on its own.

That looks like it should go into a README.

Hope it was sarcasm J. Anyway, there is no versioning for sunxi-tools at all. Probably it's better to use 9999 and git source instead. Anyway I would like to make it 0.1 if you don't mind.

Alexey.

OOPS, I found, that maintainers have versioning. Sorry will rework with all comments. Thank you!

Alexey.
