Re: Scratch package for Gentoo Linux

 

Cool! Thanks for doing this. One potential gotcha is that Scratch has a custom license.

http://info.scratch.mit.edu/Scratch_License

So if you have any questions about that or anything else, write to let us know.

Also - I'm not familiar with ebuilds - so I'm not quite sure how they work. But if you'd like us to link to something from this page...

http://info.scratch.mit.edu/Linux_Installer

.. that would help Gentoo users get Scratch installed, let us know.

Scratch On!

Greetings,

First, thanks for the really cool tool! My five-year old is just getting her feet wet, but is already pretty enamored of it (she's quite bright).

I wanted to let you know that I've written an ebuild for Scratch for Gentoo Linux. Gentoo is a source-based distribution, and an "ebuild" is what we call a build script. I've submitted a request to have my ebuild considered for inclusion by the Gentoo developers. You can track the request at:

    http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=368985

Please let me know if you have any advice regarding the ebuild or any other kind of support you might be able to provide. Have a great weekend!
