 |
|
Hi all,
i am currently doing an ebuild for the vpn application use for years, so got a couple of questions. This is a .deb archive which should be installed as a bin app.
1) unlike others ${S} is not created by portage during install. Is it designed way to do so? After archive is copied to /vat/tmp/portage i see all other dirs created, but not this one so if i will not put a statement
| Code: | pkg_setup() {
# portage requires ${S} to exist
mkdir -p ${S}
chmod 777 ${S}
}
|
install process will fail with the error "${S} directory does not exist". also i must set 777 otherwize will not be able to even to copy the .deb.file there if needed. just checked firefox-bin ebuild for example and could not find anywhere same statement to create ${S}
2) this application has a .so file which should be placed into /usr/lib/app-name/. i tried multiple ways dolib.so or newlib.so but it seems always install it into /usr/lib64/, is there a way to override this path? the solution which works is to do
| Code: | insinto /usr/lib/app-name
doins file
|
3) getting a message about same .so file that "QA Notice: The following files contain writable and executable sections and might not work well" however will it affect the execution of a program in this case?
4) probably most important: during installation browser plugin config should be installed into ${HOME}/.config/ for a current user (not root), so all commands from orig script such as
| Code: | sudo -u "${USER}" bash -c 'mkdir -p "${HOME}/.config/google-chrome/NativeMessagingHosts"'
|
will not work. i understood that since its executed inside of a portage environment there is no access to global variables as ${USER} etc. however what to do if you need to install a file for a current user (or all users)? |

1) you can override S variable, usually is ${WORKDIR}/${P} but in your case seems to be only ${WORKDIR}. In your ebuild add S=${WORKDIR} (se for example app-emulation/genymotion-bin ebuild).
2) lib dir is a symlink to lib64, then is correct install in lib64
| Code: | # ls -l /
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Feb 10 12:33 lib -> lib64
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 10 12:33 lib32
drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 12288 Feb 12 17:23 lib64 |
3) is a pre-compiled program? If yes you should use QA_PREBUILT variable (see app-emulation/genymotion-bin ebuild)
4) I don't know very well this part, but you can try to install plugin in /usr/lib64/nsbrowser like www-plugins/adobe-flash?

fedeliallalinea, thanks.
2) no, the data folder of the .deb file has this structure:
| Code: | | ./usr/lib/application/xvclient.so |
so it must be installed into /usr/lib/application, when i tried to use dolib.so or newlib.so it was installed into /usr/lib64, however vpn service did not start because exe file expects this library to be at /usr/lib/application/
4) so far i see only 1 way: to do
| Code: | | find /home/ -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -type d | cut -d'/' -f3 |
so get all user names in the system (another way is to grep /etc/passwd), this is a config file for the browser plugin for this vpn service. so orig file is located at
| Code: | | /usr/lib/application/google-chrome/some-config.json |
and during installation must be copied into
| Code: | | /home/user/.config/google-chrome/ |
under user's ownership. this will give ability for a user to install an extension inside a browser |

Strange copy this file in /usr/lib or /usr/lib64 in a profile <=17.0 is same things. What program is?

Or better you can print a message in pkg_postinst() that inform to copy this file in ~/.config.
I never see a ebuild that copy file in user home

ok implemented.
one last thing came up: when calling rc-service status getting a message
| Code: | /etc/init.d/expressvpn: line 186: status_of_proc: command not found
|
which leads me to the file where it says:
| Code: | # Define LSB log_* functions.
# Depend on lsb-base (>= 3.2-14) to ensure that this file is present
# and status_of_proc is working.
[ -f /lib/lsb/init-functions ] && . /lib/lsb/init-functions
|
i understand that gentoo does not have lsb-base by default so what is the appropriate way to fix this?
just checked a couple of files in /etc/init.d and none of them have status function so i assume rc-service has its own implementation and calls pid or something like that? so can i simply delete status case from the script then?
after os restart daemon is not running (after i called 'rc-update add' before restart) is this might be related? |

I think you should rewrite init script with start-stop-daemon and correct function (howto here).

ok did it and now get these results:
| Code: | gentoo /home/gentoo # rc-service expressvpn start
* Caching service dependencies ...
/lib64/rc/sh/rc-functions.sh: line 153: shell_var: command not found [ ok ]
/etc/init.d/expressvpn: line 54: ebegin: command not found
nohup: appending output to 'nohup.out'
/etc/init.d/expressvpn: line 67: eend: command not found
* ERROR: expressvpn failed to start
gentoo /home/gentoo # rc-service expressvpn status
/lib64/rc/sh/openrc-run.sh: line 127: service_stopping: command not found
/lib64/rc/sh/openrc-run.sh: line 130: service_starting: command not found
/lib64/rc/sh/openrc-run.sh: line 133: service_inactive: command not found
/lib64/rc/sh/openrc-run.sh: line 136: service_started: command not found
/lib64/rc/sh/openrc-run.sh: line 144: einfo: command not found

btw if i will try to stat openvpn, see same thing:
| Code: | gentoo /home/gentoo # rc-service openvpn start
* Caching service dependencies ...
/lib64/rc/sh/rc-functions.sh: line 153: shell_var: command not found [ ok ]
* Starting openvpn ...

This isn't the same problem as reported in link because is related to 17.1 profile.
If you run rc-service with another existing service return same error?
