Bug 293969 – New ebuild: tachyon

• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Christopher Schwan 2009-11-21 17:47:28 UTC]

Tachyon is parallel / multiprocessor ray tracing system.

Homepage: http://jedi.ks.uiuc.edu/~johns/raytracer/

The ebuild was originally written by Francois Bissey, I did some changes to support other architectures and MPI. I also tested on x86 and amd64.

Reproducible: Always

Added to sci overlay

[Comment 4 Alexey Shvetsov 2010-02-23 17:45:34 UTC]

Added to tree

[Comment 5 Christopher Schwan 2010-02-24 18:35:33 UTC]

Thanks for adding to the tree - I have some comments on my original ebuild:

- License: Tachyons license is "some kind of BSD" which means it matches best /usr/portage/licenses/BSD but is not identical to it and its of course not "as-is". What to do in this case ?
- QA: I appended to every command a "die"

One more thing: You should remove "RESTRICT=..." for the ebuilds in tree

[Comment 8 Alexey Shvetsov 2010-02-27 22:59:56 UTC]
