I would like to know if it is ok if I replace gentoo-x86/sys-libs/cracklib |
21 |
with gentoo-ppc/sys-libs/cracklib... |
22 |
|
23 |
Gentoo PPC's cracklib can be found here: |
24 |
http://ftp.sunsite.dk/projects/gentooppc/portage/sys-libs/cracklib/ |
25 |
|
26 |
What we're doing is removing the procompiled dict files in ${FILESDIR} and |
27 |
have cracklib compile it's own dict files using the word lists provided by |
28 |
sys-apps/miscfiles. |
29 |
|

Cracklib is a critical ebuild, so I would like some reviewing first. Anyone |
31 |
care to comment on this? |
