Well, I've been plugging along happily on constructing an ebuild for zimbra.
But because of a) their built-in hardwiring and b) ant-based build/install system, my ebuild is starting to get pretty big and complex. In order to keep my own thought patterns straight, I've isolated a lot of the code in src_compile and src_install to a number of different functions. But as the size of the ebuild continues to grow, I'm now starting to ask myself if, as it is currently going, the ebuild might not be accepted. So I guess I need to know: a) are there limits to the size and/or complexity of the ebuilds that are accepted into portage? b) If there are and I end up going beyond them, is there a recommended methodology for relocating some of the functionality? I mean, can I put code into scripts in the files directory and freely execute from there? Just wondering... Dave -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
