Description Gino McCarty 2014-03-13 07:27:19 UTC
Hey all the syntax for macchanger's output is different now, I wrote a new file needs to get merged into netifrc in order to fix failed interface issues.

If you try to use netifrc-0.1 with macchanger-1.6.0 you will get failure errors.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 3 Rick Farina (Zero_Chaos) gentoo-dev 2014-03-24 03:23:40 UTC
bug exists, patch works, BUT it would break compatibility with older macchanger (if anyone cares).

"macchanger -V | head -n1" will spit out the version, if we really care to support older versions.... personally, i think RDEPEND=!<macchanger-1.6 would be fine

Support macchanger-1.6 without breaking 1.5

Modified patch to support both 1.5 and 1.6 at the same time.  Zero_Chaos, could you test this, please?

Fixed patch format (hopefully).
Comment 6 Rick Farina (Zero_Chaos) gentoo-dev 2014-04-15 16:59:16 UTC
This notation doesn't appear to be valid:
\(Faked|New\)

Tested the patch, doesn't work.

Been using this for a few months now, what version of macchanger are you using?

Actually I've been using my origonal version... 
I still have NO idea why we would even want to support both version 1.5 and 1.6? Does anyone have any idea?
why not use bump to 1.6? 

all default gentoo users already have this bump..
Comment 9 Rick Farina (Zero_Chaos) gentoo-dev 2014-04-15 17:03:50 UTC
\(Faked\|New\) is the correct notation.

Mostly because I'm learning to git:

http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/netifrc.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/bug504458

Please pull this tested change.

InVCS and released as 0.2.3.

ryao: the code is fine. can you please read & try to follow the coding style next time re the comment formatting?

Owww, my pride....
Comment 15 kfm 2015-02-20 07:36:06 UTC
Can we get this fixed in stable netifrc, please? Also, I've proposed a patch in bug 540728 which checks the exit status of macchanger as opposed to relying on the potentially volatile results of parsing the output.
