Hi! Please find attached leafnode.tar.gz wich contains - leafnode-1.9.19.ebuild - ChangeLog - files/digest-leafnode-1.9.19 - files/leafnode.xinetd (which becomes /etc/xinetd.d/leafnode-nntp) Leafnode is a news proxy designed for small sites (as is my lan). As gentoo (best distro ever) currently is lacking a newsserver I think it's a good enhancement that should go into net-news/leafnode. Deps are: dev-libs/libpcre For more information visit http://www.leafnode.org/ Of course the ebuild is 'sandbox-probed' and safe. Hope you find it useful. Markus

This line in the ebuild intruiged me: # <dollar_sign>Header<dollar_sign> Did you using some unusual tool to create the ebuild? I took out the --infodir line, since this package doesn't contain any info files. Also, I like having error messages on all the "die" lines. I added DEBUG="$CFLAGS" on the emake command-line, otherwise the Makefile ignores make.conf's CFLAGS' I moved the creation of all the spool dirs into pkg_postinst(), so that they don't get removed on unmerge. Otherwise, quite a beautiful ebuild. Please test this again, if you can -- I don't know enough about news to test it well enough. Thanks! --Chouser
Thanks for your detailed description of the mistakes I made in my first ebuild. As I have some more ebuilds in planning this is a valuable source of information for me. I tested it again (merge/unmerge/remerge) and it works perfectly.

That's great! I didn't know how to accomplish this. > Otherwise, quite a beautiful ebuild. Please test this again, if you can -- I > don't know enough about news to test it well enough. Thanks! Thanks, too! Markus
