Re-assign a stale bug.

[Comment 3 Tony Vroon (RETIRED) 2005-08-13 05:17:46 UTC]

Sorry that the bug lingered for so long. Could you try if any of the
libnjb-based programs work for your Nomad JukeBox?
This package has dead upstream and will be hard to fix. If libnjb (with for
example gnomad2 or kzenexplorer) works for you, I would prefer to drop the
package in it's entirety.

[Comment 4 Edward Perkins 2005-09-17 10:55:43 UTC]

I've tried KZenExplorer with my Nomad IIc, without success; I don't think the
Nomad II and its ilk are supported. 

The same (or similar) compilation problem exists with app-misc/nomadii-utils. I
have a patch which fixes the problem for that package (I'm currently using it
without problem). I imagine the fix for nomad-tools would be similar; I could
try to have a look at it, if you're happy with keeping a fairly bodgy package in
the tree.

-Ed.

If it actually has an audience, and such hardware is still in use, I have no
problem in keeping this program around. Please attach a patch.

Created attachment 68747 [details, diff]
Patch to make nomad-tools compile with 2.6 kernels.

Added #ifdefs to cover both 2.4 and 2.6 kernel (changes in 2.6 headers caused
the compile failure). Compiles successfully on 2.6.13 and 2.4.29, verified as
working on 2.6.13.
