 You find it attached. You have to digest it yourself to use.

 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 ?
 - ... ???

I know you've already gotten help on other mailing lists so I'm posting this 
for the benefit of other gentoo-user readers. A gentoo-devhelp mailing list 
was created last week. This is now the correct list for this kind of 
questions. :)

[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

einfo Due to heavy template usage by the package it requires

einfo you run into trouble.

if ! use fullconfig; then

elog If you use bash add 
elog PATH=\$PATH:/usr/local/polymake/bin;
elog to your .bashrc

Hi,


I think this will help you:

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/ebuild-submit.xml

You also might want to have a look to dev mailing list.
