This is laying the groundwork for a bogofilter ebuild ;) But I didn't |
| 8 |
want to promise anything until this worked ;) |

Not at all familiar with that. Didn't see that in the developer docs. I |
| 14 |
will look at some of the ebuilds to check that out. |

Ok. Have been doing that for the tarball. Will do that for the ebuild. |

Couldn't agree more. I think I got some errors when I tried it anyways. |
| 41 |
I prefer the ${p} syntax but this isn't a complicated ebuild. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
Though it isn't autoconf'd at all so I can't seem to do --info-dir, |
| 44 |
--man-dir etc. Will have to try to resolve that. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
How do others do it when the upstream's configure script ain't autoconf'd. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
On an aside, the author, on the sourceforge page, is requesting help with |
| 49 |
doing the autoconfing and stuff. I don't have time to learn it. I wonder |
| 50 |
if someone could offer the author a hand. |
