Dear list,
I'm trying to create an ebuild for a ZFS snapshot/replication automation tool
called Znapzend that I've been using on FreeBSD for some time and also would
like to use in Gentoo. https://github.com/oetiker/znapzend
The project homepage has a link to a 3 year old abandoned ebuild that no longer
works. The program exists as a package in FreeBSD and also in Arch Linux and
I've used all these sources to try to understand the best approach how to
handle it in Gentoo.
I've managed to create a working ebuild but I need some input for the final
install phase. The program is written in Perl and creates a few modules. The
above mentioned sources do not agree on the location of these files and gives
no hints to why the maintainers chose the solution they did.
The FreeBSD approach seems straight forward and places the files accordingly:
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/ZnapZend.pm
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/ZnapZend/Config.pm
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/ZnapZend/Time.pm
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/ZnapZend/ZFS.pm
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/inheritLevels.pm
In Gentoo I find .pm files in a multitude of places e.g.
/usr/lib64/perl5/5.36
/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.36
This is where I lack the necessary knowledge to proceed.
1) Where's the appropriate place for these files in Gentoo and why?
2) If the appropriate place is either of those folders with a version number,
how do I install the files there without hard coding the version number in the
ebuild (which would naturally break the next time Perl gets updated)?
Regards
Morgan Wesström
