libticables-3.8.6-3.8.7.diff

Preliminary ebuild:

* Use the sourceforge mirror.
* Added the "usb", "serial" and "parallel" local USE flags.
* At least one of them should be used, if not just show a warn.
* Removed ticables-config, if its really needed take note that it should be
added again and it must be sed'ed in order to replace the correct $libdir
location (for multilib systems)
* Added conditions to be sure that things are going to work
* Needs to be done the 'tiser' external module ebuild
* Needs to create the neccesary hotplug script and usermap for usb (libusb)
support

Arrrg, upstream page (even sourceforge) is not updated, the correct version are:

Current Portage Version    ->    Lastest Stable Version
=======================          ======================
libticables-3.8.6.         ->    libticables-3.8.9

You can found the source at http://gentoo.org.mx/libti/ . It dont have any modification, just added the version sufix, and bziped rather than gziped. The original source is: http://www.ticalc.org/pub/unix/tilibs.tar.gz which include all the lastest libti*

I haven't seen this bug before... there are new ebuild on the bug #84763
Comment 7 Olivier Fisette (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-03-14 21:04:47 UTC
If I understand correctly, this should be fixed with the updated packages now in Portage, as they cover everything necessary to use TiLP. If I am wrong, feel free to reopen.
