digest an ebuild

[hedmo]

hi


i can not get this ebuild to digest:

mybox hedmo # ebuild /var/lib/local/net-print/epson-inkjet-printer-201108w/epson-inkjet-printer-201108w-1.0.0-r1.ebuild digest
!!! net-print/epson-inkjet-printer-201108w-1.0.0-r1 does not follow correct package syntax.
mybox hedmo #


and the rpm is :

epson-inkjet-printer-201108w-1.0.0-1lsb3.2.src.rpm

what should i name the ebuild to make it work

thanks!!

show your "cat /var/lib/local/net-print/epson-inkjet-printer-201108w/epson-inkjet-printer-201108w-1.0.0-r1.ebuild"
may be it's broken

try to remove the last part (-201108w) and adjust the name, then try again.

i have been trying to fetch it with other names but i wont.that is my problem. i can not figure out how to
rename the ebuild and make it fetch the right rpm

[lazy_bum]

Can you guide me on this site? I can only see this files available for download there:

sorry there was an r in the homepage (HOMEPAGE="http://avasys.jp/eng/linux_driver/download/lsb/epson-inkjet/escp/")

now you will see the rest of the rpm s

Where did you get this ebuild from, or did you make it yourself?

Are you actually still getting the message:

The difference between 201108w and 100dpi is the former is a valid version spec whereas the latter is not.

See timezone-data for an example of such a version and ntfs3g as an example of how to workaround this issue.

i have renamed the epson-inkjet-printer-escpr-1.0.1.ebuild from bgo-overlay.first i had to rename it to -1.1.1-r1
but it fails with :

epson-inkjet-printer-escpr/*.ppd: No such file or directory


so i made some digging and found out that this "epson-inkjet-printer-201108w-1.0.0-1lsb3.2.src.rpm" is for my sx235w printer.
i was just hoping that this ebuild could work for that to.i have not manage to get my printer to work as it chould (no text when printing).

no.i can make the ebuild start when i rename it to something els (to make it fetch) but fails when it can not find the .rpm


ppurka wrote:

I am surprised if that is the reason why the ebuild gives error on digest.


that is the reason.it fails because of the name.if i rename it,it fails to fetch.i think i just need to name it right.


Example:

if i want to make a ebuild for the "gcc-4.7-20120107.tar.bz2",i have to name the ebuild "gcc-4.7.0_alpha20120107"

correct me if i am wrong.

[Chiitoo]

Yeah, as I mentioned there are more that would need to be changed because it will use the file name it fetches.
This can be changed likely, but I'm not sure how exactly.

Furthermore, after it's fetched, it will unpack the source into the 'work' folder named something else than what it's looking for (should show up when you try to emerge/test the ebuild).

In all simplicity, you could download the source manually, then enter the path to it into SRC_URI and you can name the source package to whatever you like, preferably the same as your .ebuild.
Then it will find it, and the source (RPM), but then you still have the wrong directory name inside that.

I went as far as unpacking the RPM and re-naming the folder and then re-packing it but then more issues arise. ^^;


I'm still rather certain there is a correct way of approaching this, instead of what I'm doing, though heheh...

Any luck getting your custom ebuild to digest? I also have an SX235W and would love it if you could share whatever solution you're using.

No.i have been working on compiz-9999 with emerald and finaly done .how long have you come with yours?
I can print à half page without the driver but thats all. I am going to dig some more to day.

I guess I forgot about this for a bit.

Did some more testing just now and I actually got it to configure after a while, then fail, then compile, then fail again on install phase, and right now a little bit out of ideas.

It's probably something simple I just haven't 'got' yet.

/*.ppd: No such file or directory

that is realy good .it is the same as the epson-inkjet-printer-escpr-1.0.1.ebuild gave me.
how did you get there? i am at:

ERROR: net-print/epson-inkjet-printer_201108w-1.0.0-r1 failed (prepare phase):

but its taking shape

[Chiitoo]

Basically by just rpmunpacking the source, and using what sera brought up:

[Chiitoo]

Okay, did some testing again (sorry for the delay), and staring at various eclasses such as versionator and its functions and whatnots, but getting tired and a little overwhelmed by info (which often happens as I tend to try and learn too much at once I guess), so I decided to look into what sera said about ntfs3g and timezone-data there.

And I mean really look into them as I thought I did before, but seems I didn't as they provided a more simple solution, or so I think.
Before that, however, I was aiming to start from something very basic, like this:

epson-inkjet-printer-1.0.0.ebuild
