Description Michael R. Lawrence 2005-07-10 23:43:36 UTC
http://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzo/download/LZO-v1/python-lzo-1.08.tar.gz
http://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzo/download/LZO-v1/perl-lzo-
1.08.tar.gzhttp://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzo/download/LZO-v1/java-lzo-
1.00.tar.gz

File roller or X java clents like azerus can use lzo libs and lzo etc
user tweek basilcy 
 lzo-opt-libs.ebuild ; i supose since they can make X-file archivers or kde 
able to brouse the files like folders 

I had a DeadHat box RPM is Dead ; anyhow I compiled them all from src
and discoved that fileroller an x python archive manager sudenly supported lzo 
etc compresion 

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Needs ebuild
2.compile of python-lzo is know to work adds niceity of lzo to X11 progs using 
python.
3.Perl lzo adds support to perl routines some console based gui archives 
perhaps adding to Midnight commander.

Actual Results:  
no ebuild for Lzo optional libs CVS stable ebuild reqested

Expected Results:  
RFC ;; requesting ebuilds made LZO addital libs 

can build direct from src 
but ebuilds for ease of updates reqeusted. 

 Also since Python-lzo adds support to most Xprogs python based wich do 
compresion or filebrowsing I/E Konqueror via kde-python bindings or Fileroller

Python-LZO  Perl-LZO Java-LZO depends on
UCL LZO LZOP miniLZO  (UCL LZO libs and or minilzo)   
java python perl respectivly

 UCL LZO the above will compile against them in addtion to or not mini-lzo etc.
 just adds bibings to the lzo copresion progs/libs 

basicly perl-lzo java-lzo Python-lzo depends on UCL and LZO; Lzop mini-lzo can 
build 

they will build with the least ; will build with the most.

I recomond the full lzo set since the pain of recompiles is such a hassel and 
lzo and ucl compile times are relitivly low ; dosnt require all just mini-lzo 
lzop are recomended opts ; built againt base lzo-tool-sets and libs (ALL)
give best results :-)

just as long as lzo baase is installed they'll work ; just mini-lzo is fast 
and lite the optional libs tend to auto-chose wich to pipe it too. 
small files tend to get sent to mini-lzo if built and or the faster lib 
routines ; while large sets tend to use the lzo compressor apperently.

users can kind of pick 
dep on system use 
lzo is manily used with STRONGSWAN/OPENSWAN (Fork)(since openswan is not being 
maintained much) but can be used as a file compessor it is fast and compresses 
well.

just since the bindings are under dev to 2.0 and consistantly under devel but 
resonable stable cvs-ebuilds would be requested.

since new too gentoo I dont have much in Portage skills

plus ebuilds would ease the maintence of lzo tools esp these opt bindings libs

for now ./confige and make dose fine ; just hoping to world em and let portage 
etc keep track of em in the future.

Please, could you *briefly* summarize what do you request?
