Yes, that is, I only own x86 boxes.
Grubba/Marcus, is there any alpha left in the pikelab that we can test gentoo on?
Ok, I'll add bc to the deps later today...(we are talking about the console based calculator, aren't we ?)
Yes, this is the line in configure.in that uses bc:
if test "0`echo 'if(AC_ACVERSION >= 2.50)1'|bc`" = "01"; then
Since bc isn't installed by default on some systems, could someone come up with something better?

Cool ;-)
I haven't tried gentoo or ebuilds myself, so my feedback aren't perhaps of the best quality. Looking through the checkin it looks like the metadata.xml can have a longer description (according to the DTD). Is the ANNOUNCE file OK, or is it too long? https://pike.ida.liu.se/development/cvs/view.xml?module=Pike&file=7.5 /ANNOUNCE&rev=1.12
It's perhaps a bit too long, the short description (used in the ebuild) should be like 1 sentence and the long description should go towards 3-4 sentences, at least that's what most people used. I didn't add a long description yet, because there is no tool/script or whatever that takes advantage of the metadata.xml file (it was recently introduced) so it's not that important at the moment.
The source should compile fine on x86,ppc,alpha,sparc,sparc64 as is. I might have misinterpreted the KEYWORDS part of the ebuild file, but to me it looks like it is marked as only working on x86.
Yes, that is, I only own x86 boxes. (a ~ before the keyword means it's in testing phase and - before a keyword means it doesn't work on that arch). I can't set these flags myself I have to forward a "please test dev-lang/pike on your arch and modify the keyword"-request to the various arch developers of gentoo (or success stories of users, of course but usually it ends up on the devs because most users only own x86 boxes)
Regarding DEPEND, there is one configure test that requires bc. But that is probably a "bug" that should be fixed in the configure test instead...
Ok, I'll add bc to the deps later today...(we are talking about the console based calculator, aren't we ?)
