 Posted: Wed Dec 05, 2007 4:06 pm Post subject: vmware-modules ebuild not applying any-any updates? |
 |
|
I have some trouble with vmware-modules..
a) why does the ebuild pull VMware-Player, if I wanna install the workstation.
b) why doesn't the vmware-modules ebuild apply the any-any updates. Somehow it doesn't even check the digest and unpack the any-any tarball
I wanted to use latest any-any 115, so I
- edited vmware.eclass
- redigested vmware-workstation ebuild
- ran emerge vmware-modules

Am I blind, or is there just nothing about the any-any o.O
For vmware-workstation it looks like this:
| Code: | * checking VMware-workstation-6.0.2-59824.x86_64.tar.gz ;-) ... [ ok ]
* checking vmware-any-any-update115.tar.gz ;-) ... [ ok ]
>>> Unpacking source...
>>> Unpacking VMware-workstation-6.0.2-59824.x86_64.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/vmware-workstation-6.0.2.59824/work
>>> Unpacking vmware-any-any-update115.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/vmware-workstation-6.0.2.59824/work |

The ebuild/eclass is definately broken..
So, as far as I can tell, applying an any-any update to vmware-modules currently works like this:
| Code: | ebuild /usr/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules/vmware-modules-1.0.0.17.ebuild unpack
cd /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules-1.0.0.17/work
tar xvf /usr/portage/distfiles/vmware-any-any-update115.tar.gz
for i in vmware-any-any-update115/*.tar; do tar xvf $i; done
ebuild /usr/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules/vmware-modules-1.0.0.17.ebuild compile
ebuild /usr/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules/vmware-modules-1.0.0.17.ebuild merge |

Okay, now vmware workstation runs fine.
Final steps to apply an any-any update, using the modules that actually fit to the vmware workstation version FROM vmware-workstation
| Code: | # fist apply update to installed vmware workstation (module sources)
cd /tmp
tar xvf /usr/portage/distfiles/vmware-any-any-update115a.tar.gz
cd vmware-any-any-update115a
./runme.pl
# run ebuild manually
ebuild /usr/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules/vmware-modules-1.0.0.17.ebuild unpack
cd /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules-1.0.0.17/work
rm -rf vm*-only
# do NOT use outdated vmware player modules, use the ones that come with workstation
# otherwhise we get a version mismatch
for i in /opt/vmware/workstation/lib/modules/source/*.tar; do tar xvf $i; done
ebuild /usr/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules/vmware-modules-1.0.0.17.ebuild compile
ebuild /usr/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules/vmware-modules-1.0.0.17.ebuild merge |
The ebuild/eclass are indeed a bit messed.
