 |
|
Hi Gentoo Wizards,
Could some kind person please provide an ebuild to install the stand alone version of Zotero?
Zotero is a free, easy-to-use tool to help collect, organize, cite, and share research sources.
Zotero is a FOSS project. More information here!
This would be very much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!  |

So far I have got a start on a simple ebuild from the instructions from: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Basic_guide_to_write_Gentoo_Ebuilds
zotero-1.0.ebuild
| Code: |
# Copyright 1999-2015 Gentoo Foundation
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
# $Id$
EAPI="5"
DESCRIPTION="Zotero [zoh-TAIR-oh] is a free, easy-to-use tool to help you collect, organize, cite, and share your research sources."
HOMEPAGE="https://www.zotero.org/"
SRC_URI="https://download.zotero.org/standalone/4.0.28/Zotero-4.0.28_linux-x86_64.tar.bz2"
LICENSE="GPL-3"
SLOT="0"
KEYWORDS="~amd64 ~x86"
|
I couldn't get much further as the instructions page on https://devmanual.gentoo.org/quickstart/ was timing out.
Your help to complete this is very much appreciated! |

russellD ... based on the name of the tarball that would be 'zotero-4.0.28.ebuild' ... and for SRC_URI, you should be using ${PV} (package version) rather than hardcode the version.
| Code: | | SRC_URI="https://download.zotero.org/standalone/${PV}/Zotero-${PV}_linux-x86_64.tar.bz2" |

That doesn't seem consistent with the 'x86_64.tar.bz2' above ... you need to provide the SRC_URI for the x86 sources.
| Code: | SRC_URI="amd64? ( https://download.zotero.org/standalone/${PV}/Zotero-${PV}_linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 )
x86? ( https://download.zotero.org/standalone/${PV}/Zotero-${PV}_linux-i686.tar.bz2 )" |

This is the working ebuild for Zotero.
I had to hard code the sym link to the binary as Zotero changes to lower case for the binary to "zotero" for a package with upper case "Zotero".
While its rough and not as elegant as I would like, it installed Zotero and cleanly uninstalls with "emerge -Cva Zotero", so keeps the system easy to maintain.
Which is what I wanted.
Your suggestions are appreciated!

|
|
I rewrote this ebuild as it didn't start zotero from the cli, so I got the ebuild to write a simple shell script to start the zotero executable.
Is this a consistent with Gentoo approach?
Not being a programmer or dev, I'm unsure of the correct way to do this.
I welcome your comments!! 
the new code which now installed and runs zotero from the cli:

EAPI="5"

Thanks krinn!
I never would have looked or considered that this existed as a bug!
Done as you suggested. |
