Created attachment 290179 [details] WIP ebuild from mrfree in #gentoo-sunrise WIP ebuild from mrfree in #gentoo-sunrise. Tested on x86 and amd64. Works. Current ebuild needs the following fix: Installs tests to site-packages, but no option to run them. Tests need RDEPEND="dev-python/mock".
Hi James... I'm mrfree :) I'm simply waiting for a dev's "ok to commit" to push my ebuild on sunrise overlay. The dev-python/mock in the RDEPEND you proposed isn't correct, we need it only for tests and only if wanted (useflag enabled). I've already implemented tests support using distutils.eclass, I think it's the way to go. ASAP I'll commit it in the overlay.
This is now in the sunrise overlay. You can find it at: http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/sunrise/browser/reviewed/dev-python/configglue
The ebuild in sunrise was outdated and unmaintained, so it got removed.
