[gentoo-dev] Problem writing my first ebuild

[Thomas de Grenier de Latour]

Hi,

I'm trying to write an ebuild for "xawdecode", a TV program based on "xawtv". I've based on xawtv-3.7.2.ebuild, but I have a problem: a few files, some fonts to go in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc, are shared by this two program, so I can't emerge my application because of a sandbox write lock. How are we supposed to deal with this kind of incompatibility ? I've though about patching the Makefile to place the font somewhere else, but I don't feel it really satisfying.

Thanks for your advice,

-- Thomas.
