ebuild for specter
ebuild for app-admin/specter
The ebuild is missing a header... http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml?part=2&chap=3 Created attachment 63745 [details]
Ebuild for specter 1.4
added the header as per the ebuild guild.
Should this be running as a user rather than root? I didn't see anything
particularly obvious in the gentoo developer notes. Need to check how specter
handles dropping privs wrt logfile open.

updated ebuild
I updated the ebuild for version 1.5, and included a dependency to get sgml2html and sgml2txt so that it would compile. I also updated the postgres dependency.
I ran into this because I was looking for a way of running an arbitrary script triggered by a rule in iptables. Is there a better program for this purpose? I would think that since this bug has been here for almost seven years, most people have found other ways of doing what this program does. |
