Mail-IMAPClient-2.2.9 ebuild
Builds on IA32. Haven't got anything else to test on. Works for me(TM) status
;)
The policy on perl modules in Gentoo is that they are only specifically included in the portage tree if they are a dependency of an app or they provide utilities. If that is not the case, g-cpan.pl should be used for installation instead. Does this ebuild fill a dependency of something already in portage? Closing for now. Please reopen if this is / becomes a dependency of something else. See previous comment. No it does not! Sorry for bothering you. I've been using Gentoo since 1.2 and I never realised g-cpan.pl existed, I've been creating ebuilds of my commonly used Perl modules in my portage overlay tree for quite some time now. Is this documented someplace where I have missed it? Sorry again! No bother at all. The documenation for g-cpan is a little thin at the moment. Hopefully this will be corrected sooner rather than later. |
