Description Philip Walls (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

Brianfuck, a turing complete programming language with 8 instructions, could be
renamed to brainfsck or brainfunct (as it is sometimes refered to) if you feel
it is truly necessary (however, since such censorship could also be applied to
BitchX and isn't, it would be somewhat unfair)

Includes brainfuck compiler and interpreter.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.

Hi Philip.

Sorry for taking so long to react. This is actually 3rd time I am getting to this bug and stay confused.

I did a brief search and found this page:
http://www.muppetlabs.com/~breadbox/bf/
which seems to contain quite a bit more info. It also mentions the page you reference as keeping the "original" code and kind of implying that there is a "more advanced" version. Could you please clarify?

On the naming issue: I cannot find brainfunct.tar.gz at the location specified in the ebuild. However I can see some source referenced by bf-2002.1208.tgz, is this what I should be looking for? If yes, then the most technically viable name for the ebuild becomes bf-2002.1208.ebuild. This kind of resolves the situation,  - allowing to use ${P} and other vars in the ebuild. Also as I could see "bf language" is quite searchable term.
 
However the new bf-2002.1208.tgz does not appear to contain Makefile or anything to what emake could be applied. Could you please take a look at what's going on with the package?

George

tagging as needinfo.

afaik the bf interpreter specified in the ebuild got removed and replaced
by an erlang one.
