 Posted: Wed Jul 03, 2002 6:30 pm Post subject: Proposing an E-Build for Evolved OpenOffice.org !!! |
 |
|
I've been getting a lot of requests for an ebuild for Evolved OpenOffice.
before I go on if you dont know what evolvedoo is check it out here: http://evolvedoo.sf.net - if you want any of the rest of this post to make sense at least read enough to know the difference between Evolved OpenOffice.org and the Evolved OpenOffice tools.
Ok so now that you know what it is here is what I was thinking.
There could be an e-build for the Evolved OpenOffice tools. This would allow people to do
| Code: | emerge openoffice
emerge evolvedoo-tools |
to build the whole of Evolved OpenOffice.org from source.
For more sensible people there could be an e-build for the standard Evolved OpenOffice.org source package which includes the Evolved OpenOffice tools source and a precompiled install set for OpenOffice.org.
My only problem is that I'm not running Gentoo and wont get a chance to install it for a few months. I'm releasing Evolved OpenOffice.org 1.0.1 within a few days and I'd like to get the ebuild avaliable avaliable as soon as possible. But i dont like releasing untested software and have no way of testing an e-build i write.
Does anyone want to help/volunteer to write/test an ebuild.
You will probably need to read this post a few times b4 it makes any sense

Well origionally Evolved OpenOffice was an addon to OO.o and it still can be - you just need to get the Evovled Tools package instead of the full Evolved OpenOfficeorg package. It will try to find where OO.o is installed.
In fact all that is avaliable at the moment is the addon.
ps. did you get my reply to that e-mail?

bloody interweb!
well I've been thinking about the e-build and I've decided to only
make an ebuild for the tools and not for the Whole of OpenOffice.org
That way gentoo users can install OO.o whatever way they like and then
emerge the Evolved openoffice tools.
The ebuild should be extremely simple - all it needs to do is extract the sources and do ./install-evolvedoo to install it. I still have to write a propper uninstall script, but at least you could get it installed 
Can someone send me the skeleton ebuild that comes with the portage
tree. Then i'll make up the e-build and post it here to be tested.

Exqueese the ignorance but post it up where?
and what exactly is masking, I have a vague idea that it means it must
be unmasked b4 being emerged, but not much more than that.
Oh and I will be adding G2 support this weekend I hope - I'm going to be delaying the 1.0.1 release while I add G2 support and try and work out what place in the OpenSource world Evolved OpenOffice has.
I'm thinking I might rename it to gnOpenOffice or even more enterntaining to pronounce gnuOpenOffice (with a silent O, as in gnu-pen-office, say it with a german or russian accent)

I think such an e-build would be cool. I would test it.
masking means commenting an ebuild so you have to uncomment it before you can emrge it. (gnome 2 was so for some time) |

Just to clarify some things.
The gentoo developers add ebuilds that still need some testing to the /usr/portage/profiles/package-mask file. Files that are listed in here are excluded from the emerge ebuild-name unleass you comment them explicit out.
"emerge openoffice-bin" in gentoo will install itself in: /opt/Open-Office-1.0.0
Here the skeleton ebuild.

You don't need to write an uninstall script. Portage will care of this, when the ebuild is set up properly.

}
src_install () {
echo "Evolved OpenOffice Tools Installed"
} |
I'm not going to submit it until I get some sort of confirmation of
it working.
I'm not sure about the dependencies - if more is needed someone might tell me.
I'm going to add support to tonights release for the ${D} variable - and I'll see if i can sepporate the build and install stages.

To test this file gentoo users have to create a directory called /usr/portage/app-offices/evolvedoo
In this directory save the above script as evolvedoo-1.0.0.ebuild
Then create a subdir called files. In this subdir store following script as: digest-evolvedoo-1.0.0
| Code: |
MD5 31aff91e845f3fc55211212044e14445 evolvedoo-1.tar.gz 1276004
|
Now emerge evolvedoo should download the tarfiles and execute the script. But I think this is not functional yet. Portage will compile everything in a sandbox. After compilation is done, the compiled binaries, docs, libs and files must be copied into the appropriate place. That's what src_compile () { ...} is for.
for example:
| Code: |
src_install() {
dobin foo
dodir /usr/share/foo
cp -R textures ${D}usr/share/foo
cp -R lang ${D}usr/share/foo
dodoc README COPYING Install-info.html
}

hmm sandbox - well the install-evovledoo script should install directly onto the system.
If it doesnt then everything in the snadbox should be installed, how is the best way to do that? woudl you use
or would that be likely to override important folders.
I really need to lear to use make - and write up a proper install script
Still I'd love to hear if the ebuild works - AFAIK the wors thing that can happen is that it doesnt work.

OK - I checked that script. As I expected I got plenty of "ACESS DENIED" message, because your install-evolvedoo tries to install all those files. You need a make script only for compiling all tose binaries and then instruct portage in the ebuild where to copy them.

No that won't work either. Rember to copy binaries with dobin and create directories with dodir in the ebuild script. Good luck with the scriptring tonight.
Also replace ${P} with evolvedoo-1/ in your ebuild script.

i will try that out - and thanks for all your help.
Just one more thing would be really useful - even thought it wont work, as you say,
could you try out the last ebuild I posted and post the errors.
Once I have that I should be able to go and RTFM and get a script together

 why? what happened all of the sudden? ... as long as the sources are still available for what you have done and they work we can still make an ebuild |
