hi, this looks interesting. can i make a couple suggestions before i put this into portage? 1. you don't need to cd ${WORKDIR}/palm-db-tools at the beginning of src_compile and src_install. in fact, if you do do that, you should always use ${S} 2. you can replace your configure command with just "econf". see man 5 ebuild for more information. you can also replace your make install command with "einstall" 3. it is not good practice to embed version numbers in the ebuild. so i'd prefer something like: MY_PV=${PV/./_} SRC_URI="http://download.sourceforge.net/palm-db-tools/${P}-${MY_PV}.tar.gz" 4. you should use mirror://sourceforge/ rather than download.sourceforge.net. 5. the HOMEPAGE should be set to their real homepage, rather than a list of files, eg: http://sourceforge.net/projects/palm-db-tools/ if you could make those changes and resubmit this, it will be very much appreciated.
