[gentoo-user] Polymake Ebuild and general questions

[Thomas Kahle]

Hi all,

I've written an ebuild for a math-software called polymake
(www.math.tu-berlin.de/polymake).
You find it attached. You have to digest it yourself to use.
("ebuild polymake-2.3.ebuild digest")
Maybe some people could test it (on amd64 for instance...).

Now some questions:

1.) The Program uses non-autotools "self made" configuration via "make
configure". Currently the Ebuild will ask questions to the user, which I
want to prevent. How can i get around this?
Is there some Bash trick to answer all questions with "Enter" ?
2.) The program needs to be rebuild after an upgrade of dev-lang/perl.
How can i implement this in the ebuild ?
3.) Is there any chance that, after testing, this will land in the
portage tree ? How can I do this,
-email to dev-mailinglist?
-bugzilla ?
- ... ???

thanks
Tom
