Bug 214216 – =app-arch/unace-2.5 Use sources instead of binaries

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Robert Buchholz (RETIRED) 2008-03-22 03:09:19 UTC]

Debian ships sources for unace, while we install precompiled files. The sources, along with a set of patches, can be found here:
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/u/unace-nonfree/unace-nonfree_2.5.orig.tar.gz
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/u/unace-nonfree/unace-nonfree_2.5-3.diff.gz

The origin of the sources is explained in the copyright file:

The original source code was obtained by mail from the upstream author
Marcel Lemke <[e-mail]>.

	   capable of compressing to Ace archives) in any way.

	3. Distribution of modified Public UnAce sources (as part of other
	   software or as stand-alone package) requires that it is clearly
