hmm this one is a rewritten version in perl, so this needs a whole new ebuild; if you have one to share that'll speed up the process :)

okay - sorry but i have no idea how to make an ebuild :\

the main issue is to hunt down the dependencies. i've found some of them and i'm hunting for others. 

still, i'm no perl guru. 

what i found so far, by skimming through the script. that's a first-cut for a DEPEND string:

        dev-perl/URI
        dev-perl/XML-Simple
        dev-perl/WWW-Curl
        dev-perl/HTML-TokeParser-Simple
        dev-perl/Config-Tiny
        dev-perl/BerkeleyDB
        perl-core/Getopt-Long
# File-Basename was found in perl 
        perl-core/Digest-SHA
# Pod-Usage is in perl
# File-Path is in perl
# POSIX qw - no idea
# Cwd qw  - no idea
        perl-core/File-Spec
# Encode is in perl ?

"* is in perl" means that i located the module in my perl installation, so it's either there by default, or provided by some ebuild, but i didn't find the package with similar name.

Comment 4 Marcin Kowalski 2009-01-31 11:26:58 UTC

i've missed two more, later in the script, marked as optional.

        dev-perl/IO-Pager
        dev-perl/Expect

and an unknown Clipboard module (cannot locate it, maybe in CPAN ?)

optional dependency

Comment 7 Maximilian Grothusmann 2009-02-21 12:18:35 UTC

Hmm the password support also requires clivepass from clive-utils (new package), which means writing ebuilds for another 3 brazillion dependencies ... :/

i added 2.1.11 to the tree ... if i missed something, please open new bugs

(probably want to file a new bug for clive-utils inclusion)
