Fluidportage ebuilds for CVS/SVN programs

Manually creating var/tmp/portage/xine-lib-20101010/distdir/cvs-src/xine-lib/xine-lib does NOT fix this.

As far as I can tell, this is only with xine-lib.

As already said, noone has actively maintained fluidportage for quite a few months and more complex packages (unlike xfce or some gnome things) are expected to fail. xine-lib is a very good example of an ebuild that has not been updated as it even shows warnings about using deprecated eclass. Also a reason why many ebuilds could fail is that the customized fluidcvs eclass has not been updated to work with newer portage.

For your xine-lib, the problem seems to be that ECVS_SERVER for some reason is commented out in the ebuild, you could try uncommenting it.

There is broken dependency for xorg-x11-20101010: package `ttmkfdir` was moved from x11-misc to x11-apps
This is the patch

I have problems with xffm. I get this error:

QA Notice: USE Flag 'debug' not in IUSE for xfce-base/xffm-20101010

!!! Function autotool_eautogen, Line 55, Exitcode 1
!!! no ./autogen.sh or ./configure script found
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.

Ok then I checked /var/tmp/portage/xffm-20101010/work/xffm and there is not ./autogen.sh or ./configure script.
Anybody know solution this problem?

Okay... What you do is... cd to the xffm work directory, and run ./installer.sh. You will want to put after it whatever you would put if you were doing autogen or configure. installer.sh is just configuring every sub-package. Once they all configure run the ./make script. Once that is done, run it again with install: ./make install

You have now installed xffm, the only problem now is that if you want to install anything that depends on xffm, you will need to manually modify the ebuild and remove the line that tells it to depend on xffm. Now you'll need to regenerate the md5 for the ebuild file and get the size, and modify the Manifest file with the new values. Then just emerge as usual. To make sure you did everything right, use emerge -av CATEGORY/PACKAGENAME

Sorry if this is bad grammar/crappy... It's 4am. I haven't slept in like almost 3 days now. :(

Happy hacking! :)

Cheers...

Is this finally abandoned?

Is this finally abandoned?

It has been (almost completely) abandoned for quite a while already.

[seren]

what and where can one get cvs overlays this complete that aren't abandoned?

I've never heard of any other, there has been one attempt to fork this one, but I don't think it got anywhere. You're welcome to try to update this one though. It's usually quite simple, you mostly just have to compare the cvs ebuilds to the leatest in portage and see if anything important has changed.

i have seen this page just today an of course i tried it on xfce4.
it works great !. Thank you very much guys..

Nice to hear that it still works:) as the xfce ebuilds have not been updated for a long time.

[ugus]

i don't know how recent is the code which is installed , but it has worked.. Anyway, i have also mplayer updated. I hope the code was fresh

But I think, because the code is gotten over svn repository, it must be the recent code. Or am i wrong ?

[bigbob73]

i believe fluidportage is going to be updated very soon. There is a new maintainer, so hopefully it won't be long.

I want to announce that I had been maintaining fluidportage for a very short time (like just this past week), however due to it being a little difficult to commit on its current host, I will be forking the whole tree.

Gonne need all the QA I can get, you can check out the current tree, I fixed nano, bmpx, mplayer, ffmpeg, nvclock, and a few other odds and ends in just the past week, the new fork will be hosted by oldos.org, just like no-sources is.

While I'm not 100% sure of the name yet, the two most probably candidates are noportage or neoportage.

If you need to contact me I'll be in #no-sources on Freenode. I'm looking for a GNOME ebuild writer as I won't test that stuff myself. It's a lot of work, but I hope with a little help I can get the overlay back on its feet.

[sn4ip3r]

joecool, if you fork, I'd suggest not copying everything verbatim and then fixing, instead you should copy only the things that you have fixed. Fluidportage currently contains just too many out-of-date packages which noone seems to be interested in fixing. Also, I'd suggest using 9999 instead of 20101010 as a version as the former seems to be the standard in portage.

Why doesn't it show in layman?
I one needs help to mantain it, I'm in.

If only I could access irc from behing this firewall...

I also have problems with supertux CVS :-/

Thanks to redeeman and zamorate in IRC channel.

I will post a fixed ebuild soon
