Updated ebuild for ciopfs 0.3

Description Michael 2008-07-23 02:07:46 UTC
For most Linux users there is an clear difference between ~/Mystuff and ~/mystuff. But others prefer to handle their directories case insensetive when it comes to accessing them, only relying on the actual name of the folder.

ciopfs for fuse allows to mount any filesystem and access any file or folder case insensetive, while still allowing to save name with capital letters (using xattr)

Reproducible: Always

(this is an automated message based on filtering criteria that matched this bug)
'EBUILD' is in the KEYWORDS which should mean that there is a ebuild attached 
to this bug.
This bug is assigned to maintainer-wanted which means that it is not in the 
main tree.
Heuristics show that no Gentoo developer has commented on your ebuild.

Hello, The Gentoo Team would like to firstly thank you for your ebuild 
submission. We also apologize for not being able to accommodate you in a timely
manner. There are simply too many new packages.

Allow me to use this opportunity to introduce you to Gentoo Sunrise. The 
sunrise overlay[1] is a overlay for Gentoo which we allow trusted users to 
commit to and all users can have ebuilds reviewed by Gentoo devs for entry 
into the overlay. So, the sunrise team is suggesting that you look into this 
and submit your ebuild to the overlay where even *you* can commit to. =)

Because this is a mass message, we are also asking you to be patient with us. 
We anticipate a large number of requests in a short time. 

Thanks,
On behalf of the Gentoo Sunrise Team,
Jeremy.

ciopfs-0.2.ebuild

Here's an ebuild. Makefile is a bit brain damaged but it's not too bad.

I didn't use the make targets for a reason. Using make to call itself is almost always a bad idea. See the link below. Stripping the optimisation flags is also important. And why change the FUSE version?
