Hi, some remarks on your ebuild : - First, it doesn't work : unpack fails because of "unpack ${LATEX_SRC}/unpack ${BIBTEX_SRC}" where those two variables are undefined. - The header is not correct. Please use *exactly* the content of /usr/portage/header.txt - Your licence is not one of those in /usr/portage/licenses, so it must be added there first. Please provide the full text for review. - Keywords is not good : a new ebuild is always in ~arch, never directly in arch, it's arch team decision. Also, have you tested it yourself on both x86 and ppc-macos ? - SRC_URI does not follow gentoo policy, as it has no version number in the tarball. If the licence allows it, either make another tarball with a proper name and host it yourself or use mirror:// in SRC_URI and ask for direct inclusion in mirrors. - You should use ${P} variables in SRC_URI to make bumps easier. - You should use latex-package.eclass functions as much as possible (.cls and doc installation, for instance). - Also copy the .dvi files of documentation, people don't want to have to run latex each time. Thanks

Please provide the full text for review. It appears that "Artistic" is what the "Perl Artistic License" is called in portage. Changed. >>- Keywords is not good : a new ebuild is always in ~arch, never directly in >>arch, it's arch team decision. Also, have you tested it yourself on both x86 and >>ppc-macos ? OK, changed to ~x86 and ~ppc-macos. Yes, it's been tested on both. >>- SRC_URI does not follow gentoo policy, as it has no version number in the >>tarball. If the licence allows it, either make another tarball with a proper >>name and host it yourself or use mirror:// in SRC_URI and ask for direct >>inclusion in mirrors. I can't make the IEEE change their naming for these packages, so I guess it has to be repacked and hosted somewhere. I can't host something like this, so I don't know what to do with this. Both the tar files contain just a handful files each with no subdirectories, so there's really not much to do except to unpack and repack. >>- You should use ${P} variables in SRC_URI to make bumps easier. I guess there's not much reason to do this unless the files are being repacked and hosted on the Gentoo mirrors. >>- You should use latex-package.eclass functions as much as possible (.cls and >>doc installation, for instance). Yes, I know, but I didn't know how to add stuff to a function, so I just had to override it. (The bib files are not handled in the latex-package.eclass, for instance.) >>- Also copy the .dvi files of documentation, people don't want to have to run >>latex each time. No .dvi files to copy. I copied the .pdf files, though.

ieeetran seems to be part of texlive-publishers now. So maybe this bug can be closed: # equery belongs IEEEtran.cls [ Searching for file(s) IEEEtran.cls in *... ] dev-texlive/texlive-publishers-2010 (/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/latex/IEEEtran/IEEEtran.cls) --- Øystein
