Install instructions:

Detailed instructions are on the repository's homepage. There you can find the details about the hooks and scripts, too.

Here is a sample /etc/paludis/repositories/paludis-extras.conf :

Code:

# CHANGE THE LINES COMMENTED WITH # TO YOUR SYSTEM'S SETTINGS

# location = ${ROOT}/var/paludis/tepositories/paludis-extras
master_repository = gentoo
sync = rsync://paludis-extras.org/paludis-extras rsync://drzile.dyndns.org/paludis-extras rsync://server.guldbrand.net/paludis-extras rsync://ns-linux.org/paludis-extras/
cache = /var/empty
format = ebuild
importance = 10
names_cache = ${location}/.cache/names

NOTE: in the above example sync line can get wrapped in the browser. All sync servers go in one line.

For the first install do

Code:

paludis -s x-paludis-extras

and paludis will do the rest by itself.

All the packages in the repository are ~arch. If you use stable branch, then you have to add the packages to your keywords.conf.

Do not bug paludis devs or gentoo devs about this repository!!!

NEWS:

Ask hook is updated (2.0) and doesn't include the wrapper script any more.
Wrapper script (0.1.0) is now a standalone package. It has modifications, too. I includded a new feature, --nice. The default nice value can be set in /etc/paludis/hooks/config/paludis-hice.conf, but can be overruled if used in command line.

Example

Erm, I think some changes to the repo screwed up my paludis:

zxy · Posted: Thu Mar 01, 2007 11:43 am Post subject:

try syncing again, or regenerating installable cache...

what's your paludis-extras.conf?

Did you make it install, later somehow?

If you didn't find a solution, then can you visit #paludis-exstras on irc freenode?

Syncing again did not fix it.

Here is paludis-extras.conf:

apberzerk · Posted: Thu Mar 01, 2007 6:31 pm Post subject:

WOW. SOLVED. I AM RETARDED.

I didn't unmask it in keywords.conf.

apberzerk · Posted: Thu Mar 01, 2007 6:39 pm Post subject:

Wait wait wait, now I have confused myself. The error message that I posted earlier, which I fixed by unmasking the package, is not the one that was giving me trouble in the first place. Here's the real error message:

zxy · Posted: Thu Mar 01, 2007 6:44 pm Post subject:

it should be fixed ( just a few minutes ago) :wink:

That did it, thanks! Hope the rsync server enjoyed my many syncs.

Collision-protect hook upgraded.

I'm back with another bug, yay! The _paludis_wrapper.bash script that comes with the ask hook is creating files names "0" that are 0B in size. These files are created in the directory from which I run paludis, and only occur when I pass the -a option AND select yes.

EDIT: Ok, it's not the script itself that does it. I commented out "exec $cmd" at the bottom and the file '0' was not created, so it's paludis itself that's creating the file when the ask option is on.

EDIT: Yup, definitely paludis, and not the wrapper script. The following causes the empty file to be created:

zxy · Posted: Wed Mar 07, 2007 1:04 pm Post subject:

Solved in version 2.1.

This 0 files were eating my nerves lately, too... It was a stupid typo... :roll:

I was just about to commit the update. Thanks for the bug reports.

gentoolkit's revdep-rebuild -- updated. (20070308)

It's now based on gentoolkit-0.2.3 and revdep-rebuild has a new command, that was on a wishlist from IRC. If revdep-rebuild didn't have problems with package_mask.conf before, then you don't need the new command.

--edit--
20070308 fixed the problem when emerge was still called instead of paludis :oops:

Added new hook to paludis-hooks:

compress-man-1.0 - pdouble, truc

Installing now... gonna try breaking it shortly. By the way, is there a paludis replacement for module-rebuild? There's just a single line of code in it that needs to be changed from this:

zxy · Posted: Thu Mar 08, 2007 9:48 pm Post subject:

and line with portageq should be changed too i guess.... (I was looking at the diff for revdep-rebuild )

Would you be able to come to the IRC channel? Maybe we can do sth together. It's much easier there.

Never used IRC before... I know, how sad.

Sounds good to me. I'll get on there when I have a chance. So are you the primary developer for all paludis-extras packages?

zxy · Posted: Fri Mar 09, 2007 12:32 am Post subject:

Well, there are more people involved. (mainly per-package :wink:

)
Anybody can join in with hooks or anything that's ported to paludis. Or with bug fixes, improvements etc.

Ah, yeah I didn't really know what to put there so I just guessed.

apberzerk · Posted: Fri Mar 09, 2007 3:45 am Post subject:

So, rather than fix scripts like module-rebuild with silly one-line changes, I'd like to have a wrapper for emerge that just converts the command into one for paludis wheneber it can.
