Bug 2980 – lha-114i.ebuild (New Package)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Ryan Shaw 2002-05-24 01:03:06 UTC]

lha is a utility for creating and opening LZH archives.
LZH is a somewhat old compression format that took off 
big in Japan, but apparently fell flat in the rest of 
the world. It may have something to do with the 
restrictive patents on LZH compression[*].

Anyway, if you do any work in Japan you need lha because
eventually you're gonna get an LZH archive.

Note that like most Japanese software, lha has a weird,
non-standard license. I have attached a license file
derived from the one included with the Debian package
of lha.

I suppose this should be filed under app-arch.

I'll take this one.  I remember using LHA, I used to like it in the old DOS
times. ;^)

Committed.  Thanks.

Please pay attention to the changes that I made.  You have to make sure that the
user's optimization flags are honored.

Thanks for the submission.

Just noticed that you also forgot to package the docs.  I've fixed it in the ebuild.

[Comment 6 Ryan Shaw 2002-05-24 01:49:22 UTC]

thanks for catching the optimization flags.
about the docs: what is the right thing to
with non-english docs? just put them in the
normal place? i had just left them out since
they are all japanese.

[Comment 7 Arcady Genkin (RETIRED) 2002-05-24 01:53:44 UTC]

My guess is to put them all in one place.  Luckily, they are distinguishable by
extensions.  BTW, they are not all Japanese. ;^)
