rarcrack ebuild – revised

Granted, my first crack at this ebuild was (very) rough and didn’t go over too well with at least one person.  It did, however, work for compiling and installing the program.  What it didn’t do was offer a choice in what archive the user wanted to go after.  It forced three different programs to be installed, when only one might be needed.  I’ve gone back and revised the ebuild a little.  Hopefully it meets with a little better reception than before.

The only problem I have with it is the created “7zip” USE flag, since it’s not an official flag.

  1. I want to thank you for making this ebuild. Understandably your first ebuild apparently needed improvement, but thanks for not being demotivated by that very rude comment on the other post and posting this revised ebuild.

    Worked fine for me 🙂
