Hi, I created an ebuild for latex-mk-1.3, a tool that runs latex automatically as often as needed. It works fine. There are 3 things which need to be checked: 1) I put it in app-text. Correct if this is wrong 2) License "Look in file COPYING". It is a an MIT-like, yet unstandardized license (I think, but I'm not sure). 3) make;make install copies some examples in /usr/share/latex-mk (this dir is created anyway). Do we need to do some magic in order to introduce an example or doc flag? I'll attach the ebuild...
Created attachment 50817 [details] proposed latex-mk-1.3.ebuild Here comes the ebuild. It works and installs fine on my amd64. Please check the LICENSE in the ebuild. I don't think GPL is the right one here...
Created attachment 50818 [details] Here is the COPYING file for your convenience
You ebuild looks good except for the LICENSE, and the LICENSE seems to be "BSD license with advertising clause". (See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/bsd.html) Could you contact the upstream author to remove the advertising clause? Thanks in advance. (app-text seems the right place for the ebuild, and no need to introduce doc USE flag here)
Great, I contacted the upstream maintainer. I'll report back here, when I get a reply.
Update. I tried to contact the author of latex-mk and never received a reply. So I guess we'll have to live with the license as it is right now. Would still be nice to get this in.
