I saw that there is already an ebuild in the official portage since september 3th, but well, it install the *.rb-scripts into /bin, and i don't think that the *.rb-scripts of cvsspam belong into the PATH. /opt/cvsspam which i have chosen for my ebuild might not be a good place either.

Also the developers of cvsspam would like a better (less joke-like) description than that in the current official gentoo-ebuild.

Reassigning to our cvsspam maintainer.

the current ebuild installs *.rb files into /usr/bin as gentoo standard place.
And I'll fix description as you mention.

ok?

ok. i'll add the patches.
But before that, can you explain which problems the patches would fix?

[Comment 11 Sven 2005-05-13 09:20:25 UTC]

the first patch fixes a statement, stat cuts off trailing slashed from the cvsroot-path. the statement that went into 0.2.11 was wrong, and cvsspam will "crash" with on exception (or something like that) when the cvsroot-path has trailing slashes.

the second patch fixes the anchors within the html-mail. the link to the first file pointed to the second etc.

i got the patches directly from the author over the mailinglist.

thank you for explaing.
I've just added the patches to portage tree as 0.2.11-r1. :)
