I wrote an ebuild for the source of Freepascal (which is needed by lazarus). I'm not sure what the right name for it should be. I think the name for the current fpc-source ebuild is misleading because it contains only the compiler, not the source. Perhaps this ebuild should just be moved to dev-lang/fpc because it's only a slightly newer build of fpc? I would suggest to name my new ebuild dev-lang/fpcsrc because that's what it is called on sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=89339 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Created attachment 42819 [details] fpcsrc-1.9.4.ebuild The source of the Free Pascal compiler
I will probably get to adding this. The thing with fpc-sources is, they ARE indeed the source, they just don't INSTALL the sources. This is mainly done for the sake of space, and up until now, there's never really been a need of the sources themselves being avaliable. However, this seems to be the case, and as such, a seperate ebuild would most definately work. This way users aren't stuck with the entire fpc-source when they may just want the compiler. I'll try and get to this after classes :).
Alright, it's in portage now. A couple of things though: 1) I really don't like -* things. I usually leave that up to the arch maintainers. 2) you don't need to have tar as a DEP. Every Gentoo system needs it to run. Other than that it looks ok. Thanks for posting :).
