Simulate Cisco networks
Comment 1 siebz0r 2009-02-06 10:41:24 UTC
Requesting Packet Tracer since it is not in portage ;-)
Comment 2 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-02-07 07:12:40 UTC
It would really help to add a homepage URL.
Comment 3 siebz0r 2009-02-07 08:55:20 UTC
Right, sorry.
Homepage added, but you have to have a cisco.netacad.net account to download packet tracer

updated ebuild for cisco PacketTracer version 5.3.2

hi, i updated the ebuild for version 5.3.2.

i couldn't find the generic linux version that the previous ebuilds used so i just took the ubuntu generic version, which works just as well.

for i'm running an ~amd64 system i added the keyword, also i changed the wording a bit.

fixed the dependency on the now masked Qt4 meta ebuild as well (i'm not sure which of the qt libs it actually needs to run because it brings it's own versions in PacketTracer53/lib)

when emerging it shows the following warning:

 * As described in the Icon Theme Specification, icon file extensions are not
 * allowed in .desktop files if the value is not an absolute path.

i might look into it later, right now i'm happy that it works ;)
Comment 14 Pablo Cholaky 2011-06-15 08:56:27 UTC
That's hype, should be on the official repo.

Packettracer requires a libpng-1.2 usage.

A fix for that.
Comment 16 Andreis Vinogradovs ( slepnoga ) 2011-09-01 12:26:24 UTC
I no longer have the ability to update the ebuild because I lost access to the tarball.

One option is the ability to commit proxy [1].
If you are interested in this opportunity, please email to proxy-maint@gentoo.org

Suggestions:
Drop the "# $Header: $" header
Drop eutils (it is unused)
Add -* to the beginning of the keywords as other arches will just fail

Removed eutils and useless header. Do I need to provide the manifest as well?
Comment 27 Dmitry Suloev 2021-03-15 07:43:56 UTC
Starting from version 7.3.0 Cisco provide deb-package that need minimal additional steps for installation.
