Description Vitaly Kushneriuk 2002-10-01 07:04:24 UTC
svgalib installs man pages for the demos/* and threeDKit/* stuff, but does not
install the executables. 
From the 2 options : 
  [1] remove man pages, or
  [2] compile & install demos too
I'd go for the [2] as there are some realy
useful stuff there, like vgatest, svidtune, etc.
Another option is to add svgalib-demos ebuild.
TIA

I notice that a number of demos are installed SUID root by svgalib's make files.
 Given that these are just demo programs, do you suppose it will be safe to
*not* install them SUID root?  I really don't like SUID root demo programs. ;^)
Comment 2 Arcady Genkin (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-10-21 01:25:36 UTC
Actually, one more question: what's the use of installing the demos without
installing the source code for the demos?  Or do you propose we install the
source code as well?

I'm sorta leaning towards option 1 from your list. ;^)
Comment 3 Vitaly Kushneriuk 2002-10-22 19:10:30 UTC
As I said, there are some demos, that are useful
by themselves, as utilities. [vgatest, svidtune]
Comment 4 Arcady Genkin (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-11-02 23:31:44 UTC
Should be fixed in svgalib-1.4.3-r2.  Please test.
