initial ebuild for fwcrv

This is my first ebuild 'from scratch'. I followed the skel.ebuild as closely
as possible, but if I made a boo-boo somewhere please let me know.

Looks good. Prefernce is to use emake DESTDIR=${D} install rather than einstall however the rest is good.

What is the general use of this application? Who would be interested in viewing the contents of FireWire config ROMs - except for the config ROM developers?

Comment 4 Holger Hoffstätte 2005-01-08 06:03:24 UTC

It can be helpful when reporting problems with your FireWire drives or drivers. Especially many external FW/USB combo drive closures are horribly broken and the Linux FW developers are having a hell of a time trying to understand and work around these problems. Same goes for many FW chipsets on motherboards.
OTOH I realize it's general use is..limited. :)
