Bug 7748 – Mnet ebuild is not from source, and is slightly old.

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Zooko O'Whielacronx 2002-09-10 08:07:55 UTC]

The Mnet project has just released v0.5.1-STABLE.  The version number of this
release is v0.5.1.33-STABLE.  The version that is currently in Gentoo was
actually a pre-release, v0.5.1.22-STABLE.  That version is probably okay, but
nano 33 is certainly better.

Also it appears to me that Mnet isn't built from source in Gentoo, but instead a
binary package is used.  This might not work if the version of libstdc++ that
the Gentoo system has isn't compatible with the one we used to build Mnet.

There is a well-tested method to build from source on many platforms:

Please send e-mail to <[e-mail]> and we will be more
than happy to help you with anything.  Gentoo is the first distribution to
include Mnet so we are excited about it.  Also Gentoo seems very cool.

Hi, 
 
is there a source tarball of mnet-0.5.1.33? 
Currently portage does not officially support cvs ebuilds.

The part about "we have just released v0.5.1-STABLE" isn't actually true.  We 
are *about* to release it, real soon now.

We have made source.tar.bz2's, just for you:

Mnet has now *really* released a new stable release.  The complete version
number is v0.5.1.44-STABLE, and is downloadable in various forms from
http://mnet.sf.net/download.php

thx, i'm currently working on an ebuild from source. 
where should mnet live? in /usr/lib/mnet/? and Broker in /usr/bin/? 
are wxBroker/ mnmods/ MacOSX/ rmnlib/ needed?
