Description Richard Ash 2009-04-14 20:41:08 UTC

Ebuild for mwlib.rl, which is the library for creating PDF content from Mediawiki installations parsed with mwlib. This is needed to run your own render server like the one now deployed on wikipedia sites.

This is a straight ebuild wrapper round easy_install, which seems to work OK. I
think the dependencies are all there, although there may be some ones that were
already installed I have missed.

Uhm ok. This package is really messed up :)

>>> /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/mwlib/rl/locale/zh-hans/LC_MESSAGES/         
>>> /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/mwlib/rl/locale/zh-hans/LC_MESSAGES/mwlib.rl.mo
>>> /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/mwlib/rl/locale/zh-hans/LC_MESSAGES/mwlib.rl.po

site-packages is not the place for that!

>>> /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/mwlib/fonts/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSerif-Bold.ttf

fonts? in site-packages? come on. That's not funny.

This package has no will to live!

Richard, thanks for your work, but I'll have to decline adding this package until it behaves a bit better.
