i think the idea is very good, but the ebuild needs some cleaning |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
1) the ln -s /usr/shar/dict /usr/dict can not be in src_compile - that |
| 15 |
would among other things be a sandbox violation! |
| 16 |
if that symlink is necessary, then we would have to wait for a new |
| 17 |
baselayout to clean that up for us. Az? |
| 18 |
also use dosym for that. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
2) make all || die |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
3) preplib - i have never used that one, but doesn't prelib /usr/lib |
| 23 |
work? |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
4) use dosym for the ln -s - those are sandbox violations again |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
now, I am no cracklib expert, so i can not comment on whether it works, |
| 28 |
but it looks alright... |

it is important that also the sparc gang tests this, but i would expect |
| 41 |
that this is pretty platform independant... |
| 42 |
good job there! |
