Gentoo package available, help wanted for other distributions

 

Hello everybody,

My main computer is running a Gentoo system. Gentoo [1] is a Linux
distribution that installs software from sources. The package manager
is called Portage and packages are called Ebuilds. Ebuilds are recipes
to configure, build, test and install the libraries and applications
step by step.

Two months ago, I wrote an Ebuild to install the ROHC library on the
Gentoo Linux distribution. Yesterday I updated the package for the last
1.3.1 release. The Ebuild is available for download in the Gentoo
bugtracker [2].

The ROHC Ebuild is not part of the official Gentoo tree yet. Its usage
is not strait forward, so I wrote a FAQ entry to explain how to use the
Ebuild [3].

I'm interested in any feedback on the Ebuild. I'm also interested in
packages for other Linux distributions (Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora...).
If you got the skills and/or the motivation, please contact me on this
mailing list.

Regards,
Didier
