Bug 169822 – Installation of asn2asn in sci-biology/ncbi-tools

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description José María Fernández González 2007-03-07 20:34:26 UTC]

As it happened in the past with asn2all, ncbi-tools has many optional programs which are not installed by default (look for 'asn2all' at ncbi/make/makenet.unx, inside the package source).

asn2asn is one of such programs, which is useful to translate NCBI ASN.1 binary files into ASN.1 textual ones (and vice-versa), using less memory than other alternative programs (for instance, asn2all).

Reproducible: Always

Patch for sci-biology/ncbi-tools

This patch allows setting up the additional programs to compile using EXTRA_VIB environment variable.

Ebuild which uses the previous patch to compile and install asn2asn

This ebuild is based on sci-biology/ncbi-tools-20061015. It uses the instrumentation provided by the submitted patch, so optional NCBI programs to compile and install can be set up using EXTRA_VIB variable. This ebuild sets up that variable to asn2all and asn2asn, and future ebuilds/needs can change it.

Hiya Jose,
Could you please attach a diff between your ebuild and the ncbi-tools-20061015.ebuild ? It would be so much nicer!
Thanks,

Patch for ncbi-tools-20061015.ebuild

This patch must be applied on ncbi-tools-20061015.ebuild, so it becomes ncbi-tools-20061015-r1.ebuild. It adds to the ebuild the capability to compile and install optional NCBI programs, like asn2all or asn2asn.

Hi José,

Thanks for your work. I just added your patch to Portage.
