Bugzilla Bug 163383

"On behalf of the WordPress.org community of commiters, contributers, and
volunteers, I’m very proud to announce the immediate availability of
WordPress 2.1 “Ella”, named for jazz vocalist Ella Fitzgerald"

Is there a plan to add it to portage anytime soon? Problems?

ebuilds are welcome.  they are a pain to write for web apps.  Otherwise, I can
only get to it when I get time. :T

Created an attachment (id=109335) [details]
wordpress-2.1.ebuild (at least an attempt)

Well... I tried - and on my box it worked without any problem. I just changed
the URL and some other very minor things in the ebuild of version 2.0.7.

As I have nearly no experience with writing ebuilds, I'm quite sure there is
room for improvement, so please experienced guys, go ahead! :)

One thing I don't get yet - how does the distfile come to the gentoo mirror?
Right now it's not there, so I hard-coded the http://wordpress.org/... URI, but
I'm sure they won't be too happy about that. Thanks for any clarification.

Regards, Patrick.

Good grief.  Of course it never occurred to me to just version bump the ebuild.
 Thanks Patrick, I'll try that.

The reason we are mirroring it is because wordpress is still working on getting
archives hosted.  Right now you can only download and always download the
latest as latest.zip.  I've been talking with upstream about the issue and
getting md5 hashes from them too, but I can't remember where we are at with
that.  I believe they had something setup, either way I can't remember the URL
off the top of my head.

It seemed they listened to you, at least I get the archive at
http://wordpress.org/wordpress-2.0.7.tar.gz, just like I specified the URI in
the new ebuild. lastest.zip and latest.tar.gz does also work.

2.1 in CVS tree, but package masked for now -- needs testing.  Please check it
out if you get a chance, and file any bugs.

Thanks to Jesus and Patrick for keeping me on my toes.

Works without any problem here. Thanks for the update :)
