Description Scott M. Likens 2008-03-22 00:16:01 UTC

Summary pretty much sums it up, the makefile sets $DESTDIR as / since it's undefined, so it always installs in / instead of /usr.

Since Portage and other PM's don't honor or use $DESTDIR, and this package does not use autotools in any way what so ever.  The only other solution is to provide a diff.

Diff's will be attached.

dhcdbd-3.0-location.patch

Patch that patches the source, uses epatch to patch it.

patch

patch to modify the init.d defined in the portage repo, to notice the new location.

Comment 4 Scott M. Likens 2008-03-22 00:20:37 UTC

Note, I won't provide a patch for the ebuild since that is trivial.

Just add

epatch ${FILESDIR}/${PN}-3.0-location.patch

Hi Scott, my apologies for never getting around to this.  The package was masked last night for removal as it's been obsoleted by NetworkManager 0.7.0 so I'm going to mark this as won't fix.  I do appreciate that you took the time to write this up.
