proposed updated ebuild

This is my first proposed ebuild. Then please, be kind with me :-)

[Comment 2 Alexandre Buisse (RETIRED) 2005-10-25 05:46:09 UTC]

Hi,

I did not try your ebuild (no gentoobox here), but some remarks :

- Use the *empty* header when submitting an ebuild here, as stated in the dev
doc (http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml?part=2&chap=1).
We want the exact result of "cat /usr/portage/header.txt". This is very
important for us.
- Please do not use so many blank lines in your ebuild.
- The "#taken from bla" with bla = $SRC_URI should be removed
- Does the ebuild really not work with versions lower than the ones in $DEPEND ?
We usually try to avoid relying on version number unless it is absolutely necessary.
- If this is a version bump, please say so in the bug.

And thanks for providing it, by the way :)

Indeeed, it is only a version bump. However it seems to me the requirements are
necessary.

distfile package 

Here is the tar.gz containing the latexdiff version 0.3.

[Comment 6 Luca Martini 2005-10-27 03:17:59 UTC]

Added the package.

[Comment 7 Alexandre Buisse (RETIRED) 2005-11-04 02:10:37 UTC]

Please do not attach big binary files to bugzilla, but host them on a private
server or ask in the bug for someone to do it.
Why did you attach the distfile package anway ? Is there a difference with
ftp://tug.ctan.org/pub/tex-archive/support/latexdiff.zip (which should be
SRC_URI, by the way) ?

And P4 for a version bump is much too high.

[Comment 8 Alexandre Buisse (RETIRED) 2005-11-04 03:07:14 UTC]

Erm, sorry, the priority goes the other way around, so P4 is actually right...

Updated ebuild for latexdiff

Here comes a corrected ebuild. It uses the upstream SRC_URI and has a "static"
USE flag if people want to avoid having a dependancy to Algorithm::Diff.

[Comment 10 Alexandre Buisse (RETIRED) 2005-11-28 02:52:28 UTC]

latexdiff-0.3 is now in portage.
