Hi,

please my ebuild for net-misc/can-utils attached.

can-utils is a userspace set of tools used for basic interaction with SocketCAN and CAN devices. (cf. https://github.com/linux-can/can-utils)

This ebuild is lacking a check for necessary kernel parameters, as this depends hugely on the use case and therefore I did not make assumptions.

I suggest introducing this ebuild as a new package to the gentoo repository.
There is Bug 471390 on submitting can-utils also, but the ticket seems outdated to me.

Kind regards

Marc

You can improve the SRC_URI line:
SRC_URI="https://github.com/linux-can/can-utils/archive/v2020.11.0.tar.gz"
->
SRC_URI="https://github.com/linux-can/${PN}/archive/v${PV}.tar.gz -> ${P}"

This should be closed as a duplicate of 471390. But please upload your ebuild there first. I fear it could be forgotten, if I close this as duplicate.

Hello, I am currently working on a PR to make it easier and more likely to have it in the repo.
