Description Péter Szabó 2005-07-20 13:00:05 UTC
Hi!

This is the author of sam2p. The problems with the ebuild:

> DESCRIPTION="A utility to convert raster images to PDF and others"

This is misleading. Better:

  Utility to convert raster images to EPS, PDF and many others

> KEYWORDS="x86 ~ppc"

sam2p is architercture independent. It also runs on Digital UNIX and Sun SPARCs.
So ~ppc shouldn't be there.

> DEPEND="dev-lang/perl

It does _not_ depend on Perl! For building it, you need Perl (and Make and GCC
and Bash and etc. etc.), but for running it, you don't.

Hi Péter,

Thanks for the updates, it's now in Gentoo's CVS. I've updated the description
and dependency information as you've requested.

The architecture KEYWORDS reflect the architectures that Gentoo users and
developers have tested the software on. I only have access to x86 boxes, and so
according to Gentoo's keywording policy cannot mark it as stable or unstable on
other architectures. See
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml?part=3&chap=1#doc_chap3
for more information on this policy.

Thanks,

Tom
