Description Wouter Horré 2005-10-18 03:07:09 UTC

Sensor Operating System is an operating system for wireless sensor networks
developped at UCLA.

Sos 1.3 is the first non-beta release.

I suggest dev-embedded for this package.

- please attach the license as plain text
- first slot number is 0
- ${P} == ${MY_P}-${PV} in this case
- src_unpack() is superfluous
- What does "To develop applications with SOS as a user you must be a member of
the sos group." mean exactly?

Comment 3 Wouter Horré 2005-10-18 06:31:59 UTC

* The licence is spread all over the source code. Some parts are adapted from
TinyOS and have the INTEL license. Other parts have a copyright notice at the
beginning. (I will attach both in a minute)

* I adjusted the ebuild according to the remarks in comment #2. In the meanwhile
I also noticed in the sos tutorial that the preferred location for sos is
sos-1.x instead of sos. I modified the ebuild to install to /opt/sos-1.x.

* About the sos group: to develop applications that must run on sos, or to build
the sample applications that are part of the source tree, one needs write
permissions in the source tree. For that purpose I added a sos group and changed
the permissions and ownerships of the source tree to make write access possible
as a non-root user.

This package does not meet the current criteria needed to be a viable candidate for the Portage tree since the upstream sources are no longer available at the location provided by the ebuild. This criteria is currently listed at the following URL:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Proxy_Maintainers/Maintainer_Wanted
Metric: Upstream status: Exists; "Package must still be available and fetchable (did it move to github, bitbucket, ...?)"


If you (or another user) are still wanting this package to make it into the Portage tree please let us know by re-opening this bug and include a new usable upstream source. Sadly, until that time we cannot move forward with this ebuild.
