[gentoo-dev] Re: Opennebula ebuild

[Samuel Bernardo]

Hi,

I finally manage to get opennebula-5.10.4[1] hotfix version working,
compiling everything from source. This includes also the documentation.

If use flags docker or sunstone are selected, build will require
network-sandbox disabled. emerge will fail in pretend and setup phase if
network-sandbox was not authorized by the user.

I hope this ebuild to be useful and I'm glad to share it for Gentoo
community.

Best,

Samuel
