Bug 4119 – privoxy-2.9.14_beta.ebuild (New Package)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Miles Barr 2002-06-24 21:45:56 UTC]

Hi, 
 
Please find attached privoxy.tar.gz contained privoxy-2.9.14_beta.ebuild and 
some patches that allow it to run 'out of the box'. 
 
Here's the description of privoxy off their website: 
 
Privoxy is a web proxy with advanced filtering capabilities for protecting  
privacy, filtering web page content, managing cookies, controlling access, and  
removing ads, banners, pop-ups and other obnoxious Internet junk. Privoxy has  
a very flexible configuration and can be customized to suit individual needs  
and tastes. Privoxy has application for both stand-alone systems and  
multi-user networks.  
  
Privoxy is based on Internet Junkbuster (tm). 
 
 
I suggest net-www/privoxy as its location. It depends on a text based browser, 
which I've set to links but it could be lynx or w3m. 
 
It's my first ebuild so I'd be happy to receive any comments about how it's 
been written. 
 
Miles

A tarball containing the privoxy ebuild script and the necessary patch files.

It appears that some one has already submitted an ebuild for privoxy (bug 
#3285). You'll probably want to merge the two. The author of the other ebuild 
has contacted me and we'll work together on making just one script.

Other files required for the ebuild script

The rest of the files for the ebuild script (includes things like patch files).

Refer to 3285 as it is a cleaner ebuild.
