Description Cory Visi (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-10-27 23:28:47 UTC
sys-apps/mpls-utils-1.1.ebuild
MPLS (Multi Protocol Label Switching) stack for the Linux

MPLS-related utils. This needs a kernel patch of course.  Also, there should probably 
be a kernel source ebuild available with mpls support, and I do have one, but I am not 
prepared to maintain it.

There is another issue with this ebuild. The mpls kernel patch adds some important 
include files to the kernel source (into /usr/include/linux). The ebuild requires these 
to compile. What is the correct way to get this to compile since Gentoo uses the glibc 
/usr/include/linux ?

Furthermore, the mpls package comes with patches for iptables, pppd, and iproute2. I 
have modified ebuilds for all of these, but I think we need a new "USE" variable for 
this. Please let me know about this and I'll submit the new ebuilds.

since you are a dev... why don't put this one in :)
Comment 3 Ciaran McCreesh 2005-08-18 12:46:29 UTC
Please fix the following and reopen:

* A is read-only.
* S should use ${P}
* LICENSE is invalid.
* KEYWORDS should be fixed as per policy.
* ${A} and ${S} should be quoted in src_unpack.
* Makefile fixes should be in src_unpack, and can use sed -i.
* die messages can't be multiline. Use eerror for that.
