Description Michael Kohl (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

"Ruby/Amazon is a Ruby language library that allows programmatic access to the popular Amazon Web site via the REST (XML over HTTP) based Amazon Web Services. In addition to the original amazon.com site, the amazon.co.uk, amazon.de and amazon.co.jp properties are also supported."

The package can make use of net-geoip (the Ruby bindings for GeoIP), which I also submitted today:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47941

One problem: either I'm too stupid too do it, or there is no configure option for net-geoip, although the program's homepage says "Additionally, Ruby/Amazon can make use of MaxMind's GeoIP library.". Maybe it's autodetected? Anyway, I added it as a local useflag (geoip). That could be interesting in regards to this bug

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47132

asking for geoip to become a global flag.

ruby-amazon is a dependancy for the Alexandria book collection manager for GNOME which I submit in a few minutes.

Oops, it should have been other way round...

I've just committed net-geoip, so we can add this package next.
You ebuild works fine, but didn't you forget to include ebuild header?

Also, LICENSE isn't GPL2 but  GPL-2 -- LICENSE must be one of
/usr/portage/licenses/*, just FYI ;)

Yes, I know. These mistakes were common in the first versions of all the ebuilds in submitted the day, somehow that's the only one I forgot to fix. Sorry!

No worries ;) Just added ebuild header and fixed LICENSE field, 
and then committed to CVS. Thanks for the report.
