Attachments:	lanshark-0.0.1.ebuild patch to remove simplejson from install script

Description me 2007-09-06 15:19:21 UTC

Attached you will find an ebuild for lanshark 0.0.1 and a patch, fixing the install script.

"Lanshark is a free filesharing tool for local area networks. Lanshark allows you to share files with other users in the same network more efficiently. It automatically detects other lanshark users in the same Network and lets you browse trough their shares. Lanshark has a very fast search function that allows you to search through all the shares in the whole network in a few seconds!" (http://lanshark.29a.ch/)

Lanshark is written in Python and ships with an optional pygtk-GUI.  It depends on dev-python/simplejson. Note, that the upstream distribution shipped and installed its own copy of simplejson, which is, why I patched the installation script to not install simplejson.

Regarding interoperability between different systems, it should be noted, that there are ready-to-use windows builds available, so its a perfect alternative to samba for small networks.

Reproducible: Always

patch to remove simplejson from install script

The upstream distribution ships and installs its own copy of simplejson. This should be avoided, since simplejson is in the tree. This patch removes simplejson from the install script.

Feel free to reopen this once it's more mature that some 0.0.1 beta release. Thanks.
