The reason is, that together with the libata-dev patch (http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/jgarzik/libata/2.6.11-libata-dev1.patch.bz2), this version of hddtemp can display the temperature of sata drives. Thus, one can monitor sata-hd-temps with gkrellm, like I do now :-). I successfully tested this! Simply copying the 0.3-beta12 to 0.3-beta13 will do, the ebuild applies fine then (on my amd64).

*** Bug 96627 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Bug 96627 is not a duplicate. HERE, an ebuild is requested, in 96627 a patch is requested to be applied to gentoo-sources. The ebuild does not at all depend on the patch. hddtemp works without it on normal ide harddiscs.
Ebuild added to CVS.
