Description f0o 2021-01-18 10:33:23 UTC

Big divergence between this and the frrouting overlay.

If net-misc/frr (with libyang & rtrlib) should be integrated into gentoo it should allow the (un)setting of all individual daemons and allow for a smooth transition between the two repos to not cause unwanted outages.

As a reference: https://github.com/FRRouting/gentoo-overlay

Happy to chat on IRC (freenode/#gentoo - f0o) or anywhere else about it.

Reproducible: Always

I am not sure if we should introduce vast amounts of USE-flags that do not pull extra dependencies and only switches some --enable/--disable options in configure. If user does not want to build some daemons, apropriate --disable options could be defined by ECONF_EXTRA in /etc/portage/env for net-misc/frr.

Ebuild for net-misc/frr have more similarities with current ebuild for net-misc/quagga in main portage tree mainly because it is supported path of migration.
