Description Peter Gantner (a.k.a. nephros) 2005-06-29 06:30:45 UTC
empty is an "expect" like program which can be used to steer interactive 
applications (such as telnet) from within shell scripts, but doesn't rely on 
tcl/tk or perl etc.

I found it through the related LWN article:

Reproducible: Always

according to #2, version bumped.

Please test on sparc.
Comment 4 Peter Gantner (a.k.a. nephros) 2005-09-13 22:27:44 UTC
reopen.
Comment 5 Francesco R. (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-10-02 11:54:03 UTC
If it's ok for everyone I'll take care of this.

The first version in portage will be app-admin/empty-0.6.1b, if it's working.

Also a RDEPEND="virtual/logger" will be added since "empty" expect a socket in
/dev/log.

Be patient untill I've finished to re-read the "add a new ebuild" section of the
developer manual ;)

0.6.9b ebuild should anyone be interested :)
Comment 7 Vieri 2006-07-19 12:11:36 UTC
Tested 0.6.9b ebuild on ~amd64.
Compiles and runs example tests.
Comment 8 Peter Gantner (a.k.a. nephros) 2007-03-09 14:18:07 UTC
Latest version is now empty-0.6.11b, version-bumping is sufficient.

Compiles and works as expected on x86, could be tested on amd64, sparc and hppa.
Comment 9 Vieri 2007-03-09 16:31:26 UTC
Tested empty-0.6.11b ebuild on ~amd64.
Compiles and runs as expected.
Tested example ssh tests.

0.6.14b version bump

added "examples" USE flag which conditionally installs /usr/share/doc/${P}/examples.
Comment 11 Peter Gantner (a.k.a. nephros) 2009-01-25 20:00:25 UTC
New year, new bump.

There is a newer version out, 0.6.16b.

Simple ebuild bump works.

(this is an automated message based on filtering criteria that matched this bug)
'EBUILD' is in the KEYWORDS which should mean that there is a ebuild attached 
to this bug.
This bug is assigned to maintainer-wanted which means that it is not in the 
main tree.

Hello, The Gentoo Team would like to firstly thank you for your ebuild 
submission. We also apologize for not being able to accommodate you in a timely
manner. There are simply too many new packages.

Allow me to use this opportunity to introduce you to Gentoo Sunrise. The 
sunrise overlay[1] is a overlay for Gentoo which we allow trusted users to 
commit to and all users can have ebuilds reviewed by Gentoo devs for entry 
into the overlay. So, the sunrise team is suggesting that you look into this 
and submit your ebuild to the overlay where even *you* can commit to. =)

Because this is a mass message, we are also asking you to be patient with us. 
We anticipate a large number of requests in a short time. 

Thanks,
On behalf of the Gentoo Sunrise Team,
Jeremy.

empty-0.6.18b.ebuild

Here is a modern and more robust ebuild for the latest version. To follow is a patch that fixes the two worst compiler warnings. It doesn't seem to be particularly well-written and it looks like development has stalled but it works for me.
