specifying the complete path to the ebuild ie emerge /usr/portage/app-sci/unlzx/unlzx-1.1.ebuild works. ah, that's an easy one. it's a masked package. if you look in /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask, you'll see that the reason it is masked is because of licensing issues. Likely it is just not clear what the license on it is. so, if you know it, please let us know it. Adam? I've done a search and all I can find is the following, from aminet Short: Unlzx - decompresses LZX archives on multiple platforms Author: emeusel@cs.uni-magdeburg.de (Erik Meusel) (v1.1, 03.04.01) Uploader: emeusel@cs.uni-magdeburg.de (Erik Meusel) Version: 1.1 Type: misc/unix Requires: ANSI C-Compiler Replaces: misc/unix/unlzx.c.Z and a website, which appears to be the website for version 1.0 http://www.polycode.dk/mainpages/products/products.html#unlzx there was some info regarding the PPC compliled version and it mentioned that the license was freeware so i would hazard a guess that is freeware? thanks adam |
