Hi, It seems the nmh ebuild is getting old and is considered for removal. I'm sending this to you nmh folks to see if there are any nmh & gentoo users out there interested in making this not happen.
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=189519 It appears the particular thing that triggered this is that it's packaged to require sys-libs/db-1 which, looking at configure.in, is not really true. That file says: NMH_CHECK_DBM(,, NMH_CHECK_DBM(ndbm,, NMH_CHECK_DBM(dbm,, NMH_CHECK_DBM(db1,, NMH_CHECK_DBM(db,, NMH_CHECK_DBM(gdbm,, AC_CHECK_LIB(gdbm,gdbm_open, NMH_CHECK_DBM(gdbm_compat,LIBS="-lgdbm_compat -lgdbm $LIBS", AC_MSG_ERROR([cannot find a library providing dbm_open()]),-lgdbm), AC_MSG_ERROR([cannot find a library providing dbm_open()])))))))) Anybody knows what all of these database libs correspond to in terms of gentoo packages? I've built nmh vs. the gentoo gdbm package and it built fine (although the only db usage in nmh is slocal, which I don't use, so I cannot vouch for the correctness of it). My thinking is to create an nmh-1.2 ebuild, fixing this db stuff, and attach it to the gentoo bug. Hopefully that's enough to keep it in gentoo. /Anders _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
