Hmm, these packages produce binary-only installs. No headers. It would be useful to people if headers were also installed along with the compiled binaries. This is especially true in the case of the userspace library. At present, there are no other packages in gentoo that depend on comedi. IF they were to exists, you would see that it would be impossible to install them since they wouldn't compile as the comedi headers at not installed on a system that contains the 'comedi' and 'comedilib' gentoo packages. As you probably know, gentoo is a source-based distribution and all packages must be compilable. Gentoo must also be self-sufficient so that all packages can compile based on other packages within the gentoo system.. no package should depend on a package or on a file that does not exist within the gentoo system (with the exception of the stage 1 install phase where the core of the system is installed by untarring a tarball and not relying on the package system at all). At present the state of affairs with comedi and comedilib in gentoo violates these requirements. Who should I email to request attention to this issue? -Calin On Fri, 21 Nov 2003, Caleb Tennis wrote: > As a general note, I wanted to let any Gentoo users on the list know that > comedi and comedilib are now available within portage.
