Description Brent Baude (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-02 07:43:36 UTC
Could you please consider moving the following packages from ~ppc64 to ppc64.  
You cannot currently compile the nessus package on ppc64 successfully because
it's dependancy of nessus-core fails to build (even though it's marked ppc64). 
The problem with the core-package is that the config.guess and config.sub are
dated 2001 and it's not aware of the ppc64 arch.  This 2.2.4 package should also
probably be masked.

Consider moving these from ~ppc64 to ppc64 to resolve the problem:

net-analyzer/libnasl-2.3.1 *
net-analyzer/nessus-plugins-2.3.1 *
net-analyzer/nessus-core-2.3.1 *
net-analyzer/nessus-2.3.1 *
net-analyzer/nessus-libraries-2.3.1 *

I'm working on this one - seems that things compile fine when I apply the 
config.* and compile by hand, but the ebuild fails - investigating
Comment 2 Brent Baude (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-02 07:49:34 UTC
in talking with omkhar, he rightly notes nessus 2.3.x is experimental.  we will
focus on fixing the 2.2.4 nessus-core config problem then.  i agree this is the
right course.
Comment 3 Omkhar Arasaratnam (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-02 08:50:43 UTC
ok 2.2.4-r1 is in portage, I've set all archs to testing in case the updated
conf.guess and conf.sub break autoconfing on other archs - notifying the other
archs as an FYI, test when you can
Comment 4 Omkhar Arasaratnam (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-02 11:09:38 UTC
Patch sent upstream

http://bugs.nessus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1236
Comment 5 Jason Wever (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-04 13:27:02 UTC
this patch is needed on sparc.
Comment 6 Olivier Crete (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-07 06:14:07 UTC
btw, repoman complains that the file for the patch is too big.. why don't you
just the gnuconfig_update() from the gnuconfig eclass ?
Comment 7 Omkhar Arasaratnam (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-07 06:50:52 UTC
moving the patch was on my todo list.

I will look into the mentioned eclass.
Comment 8 Omkhar Arasaratnam (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-07 08:00:58 UTC
all fixed up with proper eclass-age - please test per before
Comment 9 Olivier Crete (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-08 17:52:01 UTC
x86: it seems to work ok.. but not keywording since x86 users have no advantage
in upgrading
amd64: works.. and I marked it stable
Comment 10 Jason Wever (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-10 16:34:05 UTC
Marked 2.2.4-r1 stable on SPARC so that nessus-core will build again.
Comment 11 Joe Jezak (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-11 11:03:28 UTC
Seems okay on ppc, but since there is no advantage to bumping for ppc, I'll
leave the keywords alone for now.
