Hi all, I am taking over bug 19493 as I became interested in cadabra after a post by its author on the sympy mailing list. http://www.aei.mpg.de/~peekas/cadabra/index.html After searching bugzilla I found someone had already filled a bug for it. I am almost ready to commit working ebuilds for it.
Now for the policy questions: The original submitter put 3 ebuilds in the bug, cadabra itself and its two dependencies LiE and libmodglue. Should I open separate bugs for those? Second the ebuild for LiE is "mostly" fine however packaging was obviously not a main concern of the author. The suggested ebuild use the patch from the debian package and the files are put under /usr/lib/lie and a script is put under /usr/bin. A man page is also included as par debian policy. Now is it the right way to do it in Gentoo? Should the script calling the program be in /usr/libexec for example? Cheers, Francois
