 |
|
I have winex emerged version 20020511 apparently. When I hit emerge -p winex it says it will be upgraded, but the version it downloads is 20020511.
Is there any way with gentoo I can emerge the latest (or fairly recent) cvs of winex? |

|
|
Actually after reading that post I decided to do it myself so I'll lay out the steps for you.
1) First fetch the WineX CVS:
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.winex.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/winex -z3 co -r quartz-pre-removal wine
2) Create a tar.bz2 of the created wine/ directory:
tar cjvf winex-2002XXXX.tar.bz2 wine
(Note that the trailing XXXX is the MM/DD of the cvs checkout)
3) Move the .tar.bz2 to the portage distfiles directory:
mv winex-2002XXXX.tar.bz2 /usr/portage/distfiles
4) Copy an existing .ebuild file for WineX over:
cp /usr/portage/app-emulation/winex/winex-20020511.ebuild /usr/portage/app-emulation/winex/winex-2002XXXX.ebuild
5) Create a digest for the new .ebuild file:
/usr/sbin/ebuild /usr/portage/app-emulation/winex/winex-2002XXXX.ebuild digest
6) Emerge the new version of WineX
emerge winex
Ta-da! Everything should work just like that. If you already have the commercial version of WineX installed you might want to delete your existing winex bin file (/usr/bin/winex) and, if you want, your /usr/lib/transgaming/ directory. |

Oops I just realized that the last step might not work for you if you already have winex installed. Instead of just doing 'emerge winex', you can do:
emerge -u /usr/portage/app-emulation/winex/winex-2002XXXX.ebuild |
