Description Maurice Volaski 2005-10-25 14:07:01 UTC

It seems that cpan perl modules are going through portage rather than g-cpan.
Here's a module for installing Lingua-EN-Squeeze.

Note this ebuild cannot be emerged yet. That's because it requires a current
version of the perl module ExtUtils-MakeMaker, but portage doesn't have it.
That's been reported separately at http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=110472

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.

ebuild for perl-module Lingua-EN-Squeeze

ebuild for perl-module Lingua-EN-Squeeze. Awaiting a bug fix to 110472 before
it can be emerged (and added to the tree).

Please, review the following link and explain why is this ebuild needed in portage.

Comment 3 Maurice Volaski 2005-10-25 14:18:22 UTC

There is a simple, but excellent little program for generating passwords called
easypass

It is located at http://iatrogenic.cx/easypass.html.

It deserves to be in portage :)

It won't run without this perl module:
thewarehouse1 ~ # ./easypass.pl   
Can't locate Lingua/EN/Squeeze.pm in @INC

I suppose my next step it to make ebuild for it, but, of course, it won't emerge
because this perl module is not installed directly via portage.

Comment 4 Maurice Volaski 2005-10-25 14:42:40 UTC

I posted an ebuild for that easypass program I mentioned,
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=110477

If bug 110472 is fixed, and if this module is accepted, then that program can be
accepted and gentoo will have a neat little password generator :)

I corrected the description and license information in the ebuild.

The package request that required this no longer exists.
