Bug 57855 – Mozilla Sunbird CVS ebuild

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description will 2004-07-21 08:04:37 UTC]

I have a mozilla sunbird cvs ebuild. I am a newbie at making cvs ebuilds and I want to get this ebuild into portage. I also would appreciate it if someone would clean up this ebuild. I created a script that compiled sunbird, and converted it to an ebuild. Here are both the script and the ebuild.

Reproducible: Always

Live CVS ebuilds don't get into Portage as a matter of policy. You'd be better asking BreakMyGentoo (http://breakmygentoo.net/) to host this for you until a reasonably stable release is made - file a bug on their Bugzilla.

I would agree, except that as there is not a release cycle for sunbird yet, it would be a good idea to put in a mozilla sunbird cvs ebuild, and when there is a release ebuild, remove the cvs ebuild. This is up to the devs and I will not have any probs if they decide to not put it in. If that is the decision, then please mark this bug as wontfix and tell me how to keep emerge sync from touching a folder in /usr/portage. I don't want to get breakmygentoo yet.

I am resolving this bug as invalid because I have submitted the ebuild in breakmygentoo. Thanks.
