Bug 721 – yahoo! messenger

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Seemant Kulleen 2002-02-16 23:35:06 UTC]

Yahoo! delivers its ymessenger chat client as an rpm, which is fine to install 
if rpm is installed.  However, I would rather have one package manager on my 
system instead of two, so I created an ebuild.  It's so trivial, I am ashamed 
of even putting it up.  But, it worked on my system, so if someone out there 
could use it, here it is.

Created attachment 190 [details]
ebuild for ymessenger

[Comment 2 Seemant Kulleen 2002-02-21 05:00:57 UTC]

PATH=/opt/Yahoo

That's in ${FILESDIR}/10yahoo

[Comment 3 Seemant Kulleen 2002-02-28 04:48:16 UTC]

Hi again,

This is actually the new, improved ebuild.  It contains accurate copyright info,
and none of that P= and A= nonsense that the attachment contains.  Please accept
this as the submission instead.

Thanks,

Seemant
