Description Niklas Bolander 2004-08-31 10:48:00 UTC
Here is an ebuild for miscfiles-international. An international set of miscfiles curtesy of me.
Provides a new virtual called virtual/miscfiles as it contains all word lists that exists in sys-app/miscfiles so all packages that depends on the GNU version should be able to use this instead.

miscfiles-international 0.1
Comment 2 Ciaran McCreesh 2004-08-31 11:16:41 UTC
Sorry, we can't include this in portage with the header the way it is. We need a standard copyright header on there. Please reopen with a fixed ebuild if you're ok with assigning copyright to Gentoo Foundation.

You may also want to fix KEYWORDS as per policy and kill the src_unpack.

Fixed ebuild
Comment 4 Niklas Bolander 2004-08-31 13:44:56 UTC
I just modified the miscfiles ebuild and never concidered changing the keywords to unstable since it's just a bunch of text files.

Never the less, fixed now. (copyright transfered, src_unpack removed and masked as unstable on all archs)

Comment 6 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2004-08-31 17:39:30 UTC
another request :)

this should be a patch against the current miscfiles and be sent upstream to the GNU people rather than doing this in Gentoo
Comment 7 Christoph Brill (egore) (RESIGNED) 2004-10-04 21:37:05 UTC
Maybe the official sys-apps/miscfiles ebuilds should provide virtual/miscfiles, too?
Comment 8 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2004-10-04 21:53:04 UTC
there is no virtual/miscfiles
Comment 9 Niklas Bolander 2004-10-07 02:39:09 UTC
Whats wrong with providing an alternative miscfiles package?
There has been some split opinions about it in the past so I thought that providing an alternative might be a good idea since both camps can get what they want then. Gentoo is about choice afterall.
