Hi! I've created an ebuild for hsql. It's a library for haskell that enables it to use SQL. It provides bindings for MySQL, PostgreSQL, Sqlite and ODBC. Since this is my first self-made ebuild and I'm a bit new to Haskell, it would be great if someone could check if this ebuild matches the gentoo policy concerning haskell packages(If there's one). Enjoy ;)
Created attachment 52804 [details] The Ebuild for hsql
Thank you for submitting this ebuild Henning. The ebuild is in general pretty OK, i just found slight detailes like wrong LICENSE (it is BSD as far as i can see) , and setting a few variables to buggy values, like RDEPEND, but nothing that can't be fixed 8-). One big problem though that probably will be stopping us from adding it to the tree soon, is that all of the optional features (mysql, sqlite, odbc, postgres) are a bit broken, and need special work-arounds both for configure and make. Thanks again.
The issue with --enable/disable seems to be fixed in CVS (http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/htoolkit/HSQL/configure.ac?r1=1.19). Should I contact the developer about this? As for the license, you're right, it's BSD, I didn't read it carefully and the LICENSE file said "as-is" somewhere ;)
We still hope to include a more recent version sooner or later. See bug #98549.
