gentoo ebuilds

[loux]

Hello there,
a big warning an official release of CS/CEL ebuilds are in portage now, but they are not (NOT) compatible with PS,
i'm working on ebuilds for that, something like crystalspace-ps and cel-ps to not interfer with official ebuilds need for other program
see you soon

If you're going to make an official PS ebuild, I recommend you have one ebuild for CS/CEL/PS, which pulls in the sources for all three and compiles statically. Then install the three binaries produced and use scripts in /usr/bin or /usr/games/bin to run those binaries (you can set env vars inside those scripts if needed).

hello xordan,
i don't know for the official ebuild,
i don't think one big ebuild is the good way to do, i was thinking about 3 ebuilds crystalspace-ps, cel-ps and planeshift
i don't think downloading and compiling 3 softs in one ebuilds is the good gentoo way to do,
i will be easier for users to install 'emerge planeshift' to make it works but ebuilds don't work that way (if i'm right, but i can be wrong
and if you release a minor fix for one you will have to rebuild the 3 and that tooks a very very long time to build CS/CEL now
but i still open to every advice
see you soon

That's a good point, building CS takes a long time so you don't want to have to do that for every little fix to PS. Having -ps ebuilds is probably the best way to go.

Am I mistaken, or is this problem only temporary until Planeshift uses the new version? And if not, why shouldn't Planeshift just depend on a particular version? Like:

Code: [Select]

RDEPEND="=dev-games/crystalspace-0.98.4" and so on.
In the end Planeshift will either need to make it's own version of cs, or use the official versions which is possible now with the 1.0 release of cs, otherwise (continue to depend on cvs revisons) ps will never be able to be usable in linux distributions.

hello moHi J,
PS depends on a particular version of CS/CEL which is not compatible with the release v1.0,
so if you use CS/CEL just/only for PS you will just have to emerge crystalspace-ps and cel-ps that i'm making right now,
but if you use CS/CEL for others tools/games it will emerge also official release 1.0 crystalspace/cel,
so some people must have 2 versions of CS/CEL installed
see you

Well, not having PS in a package manager makes it far from unusable
