Fluidportage ebuilds for CVS/SVN programs

Message

andrewski · Post by **andrewski** » Sat Jul 31, 2004 10:55 pm

Did you know you could get CVS versions of many choice programs in portage? Neither did I!

Redeeman, sn4ip3r, and friends have provided ebuilds for some; read on to use them!
1. emerge subversion (This is required to sync the ebuilds.)
2. Now you have to checkout the ebuilds. The first time, issue the following commands:

Code: Select all

root:/$ cd /usr/local/fluidportage
root:local$ svn co http://kaspersandberg.com/fluidportage/trunk
<Downloads lots of ebuilds>
root:local$ ls trunk/
app-arch       dev-libs          gnome-extra    net-im        scripts                   x11-libs
app-crypt      dev-util          kde-base       net-irc       skel-cvs-20040523.ebuild  x11-misc
app-editors    eclass            mail-client    net-libs      skel-svn-20040523.ebuild  x11-themes
app-emulation  games-action      media-gfx      net-mail      sys-apps                  x11-wm
app-office     games-arcade      media-libs     net-misc      sys-devel                 xfce-base
app-text       games-engines     media-plugins  net-p2p       sys-fs                    xfce-extra
dev-cpp        games-simulation  media-sound    net-wireless  sys-libs
dev-dotnet     games-strategy    media-tv       net-www       TODO
dev-lang       games-util        media-video    README        x11-base

On subsequent checkouts (after the first time), you merely have to update; simply navigate to that directory and, as root, type svn up:

Code: Select all

root:/$ cd /usr/local/fluidportage/trunk/
root:trunk$ svn up
At revision 62. <-- [It shows this when you are current.]

I like to add that to my system update script, so it happens automatically.
3. Add /usr/local/fluidportage/trunk to your PORTDIR_OVERLAY in /etc/make.conf:

Code: Select all

PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage /usr/local/fluidportage/trunk"

4. Read the README!
5. Now emerge any package you want (once you have the proper KEYWORDS); for Xfce, that'd be emerge -av xfce4-base (and beyond).

I reiterate: read the README; important info lies therein.

Then, once you have everything installed, you can execute /usr/local/fluidportage/trunk/scripts/fluidmanager.sh --pkgs-upgrade to upgrade your system to current CVS, no need to reemerge!

(I've actually softlinked fluidmanager.sh to /usr/local/sbin/fluidmanager; that'll work as long as you make sure that's in root's path, or you could put it elsewhere.) One thing: at present you'll need to create a file in root's home for fluidmanager to work correctly:

Code: Select all

root:andrew$ echo "/usr/local/fluidportage/trunk" > ~/.fluidportage

Edit: Updated to reflect fluidportage tree changes.

I receive this error:

Code: Select all

bash-2.05b# svn up
svn: '.' is not a working copy

I get that error too..

i think that he forgot to tell how to add the source or something.

well, this is what i do when i want redeeman's ebuilds:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/local/overlays/redeeman
svn co http://redeeman.kaspersandberg.com/fluidportage/trunk/

EDIT: once you have the files, then you can cd into the dir, and make a "svn up"

andrewski · Post by **andrewski** » Sun Aug 01, 2004 3:01 pm

Yes, I did forget (how to do that).

Thanks for clarifying.

Since this is some sort of mini-howto, should I edit my original post and one of the mods could clean this up? Or should we leave it as-is?

lowbatt · Post by **lowbatt** » Sun Aug 01, 2004 3:56 pm

Edit the first post. So people dont get confused.

no problem.

You should edit your post. - you dont need a mod to clean it up, its fine.

And thanks for the mini-howto

I think he needs to update his xfce4-cvs builds, since xfce4-modules is deprecated. I tried to emerge xfce4-cvs and found it out.

andrewski · Post by **andrewski** » Mon Aug 02, 2004 2:01 pm

Does anyone have a reference saying so?

Why don't you PM him to let him know, citing the error you're receiving? (And you could put it here as well, for completeness's sake.)

xfce4 problems should be reported to me actually. Sadly I haven't had much time to update any cvs ebuilds lately.

Code: Select all

root@alpha portage # svn up
At revision 64.

here's the error message:

It would be best to report problems to redeeman or sn4ip3r either here on the forums or on IRC (#love-sources@freenode). I don't know what that error means.

pagal · Post by **pagal** » Wed Aug 04, 2004 3:29 pm

I did that, and thanks to sn4ip3r its fixed now

I posted the messages here just for the heck of it, so that everyone know what's going on.

UPDATE: now the error message is this:

Code: Select all

that's happened while compiling xfce-base/xfdesktop-cvs-20040612.

I edited the how-to to show how to update CVS using fluidmanager.

Yeah, I did too; you have to emerge genlop.

Chaosite · Post by **Chaosite** » Sun Aug 08, 2004 11:14 am

Sometimes CVS is broken. Not the ebuilds in fluidportage, the actual upstream CVS. Waiting a few days and trying again usually fixes it

As much as that is true, that's not the problem pagal is having above.

pagal · Post by **pagal** » Sun Aug 08, 2004 6:32 pm

thanks for the help guys, I just emerged genlop but still having the same error.

andrewski · Post by **andrewski** » Sun Aug 08, 2004 6:45 pm

Hmm... maybe emerge gentoolkit? (I don't know if that will help!)
Or, check out the IRC channel #love-sources@freenode to get help. I'm out of ideas; emerging genlop did it for me.

1:
nice, i got my own guide, now i dont have to write one myself :DDD
thanks!

2:
you should not make the dir /usr/local/trunk, just:
cd /usr/local
and then svn co http://kaspersandberg.com/fluidportage

3:
fluidportage is now online 24/7, and has been in a month, (as i am writing this, my server has died, but it will be up tomorow again)
andrewski: please edit the first post with these changes

pagal · Post by **pagal** » Sun Aug 08, 2004 6:55 pm

I already have gentoolkit emerged.
Redeeman, any ideas?

).

I didn't mean that as a subtle request to satiate my impatience, but just as a humourous turn of events; I much prefer sylpheed, as it's very light and evolution's additional features are no longer of use to me.
