 Posted: Sat Sep 08, 2012 4:43 pm Post subject: Binary ebuild for Calibre |
 |
|
I just rebuilt one of my Gentoo machines and needed to install Calibre.
That's a long list of dependencies that seems a bit unnecessary.
So I poked around and found the Calibre site: http://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux
According to the makers of Calibre, they recommend the binary install method described on the above-linked page. Since, although Gentoo is a source-based distro, there are ebuilds for some binaries, would someone be willing to write an ebuild that encapsulates the binary installer command that the Calibre programmers recommend, and put it in the official tree as calibre-bin? This will also provide the user with the latest version. The source ebuild is always out of date anyway, even on ~arch.

Updated ebuild. Works with FEATURES="-sandbox", which is not good, and doesn't allow for uninstall via emerge -C, so I'd appreciate suggestions. Here's the ebuild:
| Code: |

# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
# $Header: $
EAPI=4
DESCRIPTION=""
HOMEPAGE=""

LICENSE=""
SLOT="0"
KEYWORDS="~amd64"
IUSE=""
DEPEND=""
RDEPEND="${DEPEND}"
S="${WORKDIR}"
src_install(){
python /usr/portage/distfiles/install_calibre.py
}
