An Example of Local Overlay Install: Wireshark

title: An Example of Local Overlay Install: Wireshark

I am dying to see the solution to my issue at:

How to extract content from tshark-saved streams? (current title)
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1033844.html

And, the 10 hours wait for the changes to propagate looked too long for me...

I looked up:

https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/ne ... /wireshark

where I followed the link under "Changelog" to:

https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.g ... ?showmsg=1

where the latest commit message:

net-analyzer/wireshark: Version bump (bug #566180 by Pavel Půlpán).

contains the link:

https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.g ... a96c93feb8

and looking a bit around, I managed to download the ebuild:

Code: Select all

$ wget https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/plain/net-analyzer/wireshark/wireshark-2.0.0.ebuild?id=76079176be6a22502c25090057341fa96c93feb8

The package must be in the machine's distfiles:

Code: Select all

cp -iav /my-local-mirror/distfiles/wireshark-2.0.0.tar.bz2 /usr/portage/distfiles/
chown portage:portage /usr/portage/distfiles/wireshark-2.0.0.tar.bz2

Next I created (seeing there is /usr/portage/net-analyzer/wireshark/, but for
local overlay, pls. see on the Wiki:

Overlay/Local overlay
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Overlay/Local_overlay

):

[Next I created]... and read what the commands do without my comments ( ):

Code: Select all

mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/net-analyzer/wireshark/
cp -iav /where-I-downloaded-it/wireshark-2.0.0.ebuild\?id\=76079176be6a22502c25090057341fa96c93feb8 /usr/local/portage/net-analyzer/wireshark/wireshark-2.0.0.ebuild
mkdir /usr/local/portage/net-analyzer/wireshark/files/ 
chown -R portage:portage /usr/local/portage/net-analyzer/

Before posting, I'll check this again on my Air-Gapped (part of this I did in the online, wearable, clone):

Code: Select all

for i in $(cat /usr/local/portage/net-analyzer/wireshark/wireshark-2.0.0.ebuild \
	| grep '\.patch' | cut -d} -f3 | sed 's/ \\//'); \
	do cp -iav /usr/portage/net-analyzer/wireshark/files/*$i \
	/usr/local/portage/net-analyzer/wireshark/files/ ;\
done ;

( I checked, it is correct, but pls. should you have problems, see:

phpBB Strange White Space problem
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1032010.html

)

And check that the necessary patches are there:

Code: Select all

ls -l /usr/local/portage/net-analyzer/wireshark/files/ 

Now the system does what it needs with:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/local/portage/net-analyzer/wireshark/
repoman manifest

And now:

Code: Select all

gbn ~ # emerge -tuDN wireshark |& tee /Cmn/BAK_/emerge.d/emerge-tuDN_wireshark_$(date +%s)

These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

And it installed.

Code: Select all

I know this is not much, but I thought it would be useful to newbies.
