Package available via: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/sunrise-reviewed.git;a=tree;f=sys-apps/fwts

[Comment 4 Sasha Medvedev 2012-08-12 14:14:27 UTC]

Please, add dev-libs/libpcre dependence. I unable to build ftws without it

[Comment 5 Manuel Rüger (RETIRED) 2012-08-12 21:43:23 UTC]

Thanks for your report. I added it and it will be available here soon. http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/sunrise-reviewed.git;a=tree;f=sys-apps/fwts

Ebuild for new version of fwts (0.26.04):
- Source is now obtained from git (there seem to be some issues with http download).
- Fixed issues with json-c-0.10-r1

I don't like the usage of git-2 eclass here. At least let EGIT_COMMIT make use of ${PV}.
I had no problems with fetching it from ubuntu-http.

If we want to fetch it directly from git, we should simply use: 

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=hwe/fwts.git;a=snapshot;h=refs/tags/V0.26.04

P.S. V0.26.04 doesn't build with gcc-4.6.3 You need to add this patch: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=hwe/fwts.git;a=commitdiff;h=82d0247e8342594419313f6c4577065230c1b504

Hmm it seems that issues with downloads were just temporary.
