Ubuntu One on Gentoo. Is it possible?

You should have at least searched Google before posting. I see you've been posting the same question in other forums. Top Google results:

Ubuntu One Ports at the Ubuntu Wiki

Step-by-step instructions. Note, however, that the author of this post and the creator of the Ubuntu One overlay is no longer using Gentoo. Don't expect updates or fixes.

According to https://launchpad.net/ubuntuone, "The Ubuntu One client software and protocol libraries are open source." Thus it seems at least theoretically possible. The source code is on that website. What exactly would you want to do with it?

Edit: The post above wasn't here when I was typing. At least this one helps my post count. I'll be "l33t" before I know the first thing about Gentoo :p

What's that personal cloud all about? Just from the security point of view you store your data outside somewhere and keep computers in sync regarding PIM and so on which could be done using a simple groupware server like OpenXchange disregarding the Music Store...

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to bash the service here - just trying to understand.

Moved from Other Things Gentoo to Unsupported Software as it's not officially supported.

I can't get it work since i "/usr/local/portage/layman/make.conf" doesn't exist.
I downloaded the *.tar.gz from launchpad, installed (./config...) and when running ubuntu-preferences i get:

I tried that already but i can't install them:

Please, first install and configure layman. Then proceed with the overlay way.

http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/overlays/userguide.xml

Otherwise you will have to figure the dependencies yourself and look for them (they should come indicated in the README files from that tarball or a similar file, or maybe the ubuntu one web site).

Fine, i had to add
=gnome-extra/ubuntuone-client-1.1.4
=net-misc/ubuntuone-storage-protocol-1.1.3
=dev-python/configglue-0.2
=dev-python/oauth-1.0
=dev-python/oauth-1.0.1
=dev-libs/protobuf-2.3.0-r1
=dev-libs/protobuf-2.3.0

yeah... not so lucky so far

https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntuone-client/+question/92366

apparently it uses a lot of stuff from gnome. but i still haven't found the actual script to look at it.

script now is called `u1sdtool`

can mostly be found here https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+source/ubuntuone-client

ok, ignore last post... this package is just a bunch of wrappers for the syncdaemon.

the few times it actually interacts with ubuntu one (as most of the code is local FS monitoring) it calls the python package ubuntuone.storageprotocol which is not in this package.

trying this one now.

giving up again. will just use the web iinterface when i'm on gentoo.

it emerges correctly. But there isn't a gentoo-ubuntu overlay anymore. And the files versions are a little old.
when i try to run ubuntuone-preferences, i get this error: "Authorization Error Expired timestamp: given 1270656738... greater difference than threshold 900".
I looked it up and it has something to do with the system time, which is pretty weird, since my time is correct.

Any ideas, how i solve this?

Why would you bother with that crap anyhow?

If you want to backup your files to a cloud service consider something like the following using Amazon s3

thx for yur answer.

I gave up. I install ubuntu :-)

. For some reason, i don't like it at all!

Anyhow, i wanted ubuntu one music, because i can stream m music anywhere.

I use also dropbox. For smaller things, is pretty good. Is faster than ubuntu one!

I give s3 a try.
