I noticed there was a newer version of SILO (Sparc Improved boot LOader) relased on the Silo Homepage (http://silo.sourceforge.net/). The release date is 2002-08-13, so I thought to submit an ebuild for it. I didn't see an entry for it in package.mask, so here is one to add. Basically, renaming the current sil0-1.2.5.ebuild file to "silo.1.2.6.ebuild" was all that was neccessary. The build emerges without any observed problems, as I have already emerged 1.2.6, and it boots fine. Kumba

I've tested this ebuild (it's in portage now, it's just masked for testing), and 1.2.6 works fine for me. [sparc64, 1.4 profile, both my test machines still boot. :)]
Seeing as silo-1.2.6 is no longer in package.mask, perhaps this bug/enhancement report can be closed?
