Forgive me for saying so, but this ebuild seems a little off to me: 1. why install to /opt? 2. DEPEND s on a lot of optional stuff from my quick read of the dekagen docs this morning. Can you do DEPEND with alternatives? like
DEPEND bladeenc|lame|vorbistools 3. aren't all the DEPENDS actually RDEPENDS as nothing at all is needed to compile/install the program, other than bash and man which I believe should always be present. But I am open to education on these issues :-) (By the way congratulations on the quick work, I started to do the same thing, and got waylaid by my real employment :-) On Fri, 30 Sep 2005 02:04:04 +0000 (UTC) Greg Yasko wrote: > There is now an ebuild in Gentoo's bugzilla, so you could use Portdir_Overlay > and provide some much needed testing. > > I'd link to the Gentoo Wiki for how to do it but it's been spammed, so here > goes > & of course do the commands without the quotes: > > Set PORTDIR_OVERLAY in /etc/make.conf to /usr/local/portage > > Download dekagen-1.0.2.tar.gz and move it to /usr/portage/distfiles > > Login as root and do a "mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/app-cdr/dekagen" > > Then cd to the dekagen directory you just created. > > Run "ebuild dekagen-1.0.2.ebuild digest" in the dekagen directory. > > Add "app-cdr/dekagen ~x86" to /etc/portage/package.keywords > > Finally, do an "emerge dekagen" and it should work. > > Good luck. > > -G.Y. > > -- > gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
