Bug 396411 – sys-apps/ataidle ( New package )

• Status: UNCONFIRMED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description gentooer 2011-12-29 13:15:04 UTC]

ATAidle
ataidle sets the idle timer on ATA (IDE) hard drives, so the drive spins down when the period of inactivity has expired.
To use it on FreeBSD you must be using 6 or newer; under Linux a 2.4 or newer kernel is required.

Usage: ataidle [-h] [-i] [-s] [-o] [-I standby_mins] [-S standby_mins] [-A aam_level] [-P apm_level] device

The latest version of ataidle is 2.7.1

Reproducible: Always

Hi, you can improve your ebuild.

First make it EAPI4
Delete src_unpack and src_compile
You can use ${P} instead of $name-${PV} http://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/variables/index.html
I doubt you have tested on all hardware that have ~keyword, please add only that you tested
No need die after portage helper function in eapi4, and I guess there is no need to inherit toolchain funcs

Thanks for the hints. I am quite new to ebuild-writing. 

New ebuild is attached.
