updated ebuild requested... thanks. :)
i just used the ebuild for 1.0.2 by renaming it to "drivel-1.2.0.ebuild" and it seemed to work ok... there were a few things at the very beginning that seemed weird: >>> emerge (1 of 1) net-misc/drivel-1.2.0 to / >>> md5 src_uri ;-) drivel-1.2.0.tar.bz2 >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking drivel-1.2.0.tar.bz2 to /home/noah/temp/portage/drivel-1.2.0/work You should update your 'aclocal.m4' by running aclocal. no need for patching file 'Makefile.in.in' >>> Source unpacked. * Patching ${S}/ltmain.sh... * Applying portage-1.4.1.patch... * Applying max_cmd_len-1.5.0.patch... Are the patches necessary? And what about those 2 lines right above "Source unpacked"?
in portage.

fixed
One thing to note, or maybe should be added to this and future ebuilds, is you should have >=libcurl-7.12.0 ... 7.11.0 crashes upon startup for me. See this for details on that problem (which was fixed by upgrading libcurl): http://www.dropline.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3340
thanks .. will update ebuild with that dep as well.
