Comment 2 Reinhold Birkenfeld 2004-09-19 01:27:15 UTC 
I just wanted to ask what the status of this is. The ebuild is not very complicated, so wouldn't it be a second's job to add it to portage? Sorry, but I don't want to hurry you.
Comment 3 Ciaran McCreesh 2004-09-19 09:44:22 UTC 
A few things you could tidy up... KEYWORDS needs fixing as per policy. Not sure why you have the inherit line in there. Is there really no better HOMEPAGE than debian's QA reports for it?
Comment 4 Reinhold Birkenfeld 2004-09-19 10:26:50 UTC 
Sorry, I don't know about KEYWORDS.
inherit can be removed, okay.
And homepage: I can't find one, only a maintainer's mail address.

How/Why would this package benefit gentoo users? From your description it does not sound like something we can't already do with "/bin/cat"
Comment 6 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2005-12-10 12:45:44 UTC 
yeah, this info can be obtained by other means
