Bug 58434 – NEW EBUILD: app-office/sixpack.ebuild

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ingo Bormuth 2004-07-26 09:38:17 UTC]

SIXPACK is a free BibTeX and Reference Manager based on perl-bp.

The hack works fine for me - feedback would be appreciated.

Sorry for the delay. I'll look into it this weekend.

First of all, please make sure LICENSE is correct.
"GPL" is not valid. LICENSE must match one in
/usr/portage/licenses. dev-perl/bp doesn't
even have correct LICENSE file, but "as-is" seems
okay here.

Second, if you are downloading something from
sourceforge, please use SRC_URI="mirror://sourceforge/sixpack/..."
instead of picking up specific sf mirror. Have a
look at /usr/portage/profiles/thirdpartimirrors
for complete list of available mirrors defined by
Portage.

Lastly, http://sourceforge.net/projects/sixpack/
seems to have perl-bp-0.7 and sixpack-2.1,
so what's the correct versioning? If they currently
maintain the programme, I think using their
version number is better than employing the 
original one.

I think this bug should be closed WONTFIX because the project is dead (I have looked at the CVS and the the last change was 3 years ago).

[Comment 6 Ingo Bormuth 2008-04-13 00:50:34 UTC]

Mathias you're right. Years ago I moved to pybliographer.org today I use zotero.org.
Finally closing this bug as WONTFIX.
