Description Pierre-Olivier Mercier 2016-12-31 12:41:20 UTC
The two versions in the tree requires some patches to build with musl ; respectively applied upstream in next releases, but there is currently no official release working.

With the USE flags set to -nfs, watchdog fails to build due to an include of rpc/types.h, which doesn't exist in sys-libs/musl. There is no problem with the USE flag nfs, because it appends a dependency to net-libs/libtirpc which provides this file. Upstream patch for both 5.14 and 5.15: https://sourceforge.net/p/watchdog/patches/11/

Since upstream has accepted these, we can backport them.

To be clear, we should backport them into the tree, not the overlay.
