Bugzilla Bug 1797

I've tried to install irda-utils-0.9.13 on Gentoo-Linux 1.0 (upgraded to 1.1a,
I
hope so ;-).

The location and style of init/config-scripts for irda don't fit in the
gentoo-layout, looks like my old redhat.

files get placed in:
/etc/rc.d/init.d
/etc/sysconfig
...
and refers to missing files (/etc/rc.d/init.d/functions, ...)

I've done some work on this problem, first off using the (newer) 0.9.14 source,
I've updated the .ebuild file and added a patch to add the proper gentoo files
(1 each in /etc/conf.d and /etc/init.d) to the source tree.

I'm still wrestling my IR on my notebook, so testing will have to be tried by
someone else :) (Hint: _Always_ build IrDA support as modules -- irattach has a
fit if you don't)

There are a few questions I had/have that perhaps someone more knowledgable can
answer.

First, the patch only adds 2 files. I wasn't sure if we wanted to clutter-up the
portage */*/files directory with them, or version-specific patch files instead.
Easy to fix either way.

Second, the old .ebuild has a line in unpack() to change autoconf version
information. I have removed that because it seems to compile just fine either
way. If there was a reason this was done that escapes me, feel free to
un-comment it in the ebuild file. (Or if you have problems compiling - I'm using
1.3a ATM)

In any case, please take a good look over the changes/additions and let me know
if this works for you.

Updated .ebuild to go with the gentoo-patch

Created an attachment (id=1778) [edit]
Patch to add gentoo-specific /etc files to irda-utils

Created an attachment (id=2860) [edit]
/etc/init.d/irda

corrected the usage of start-stop-daemon, now the service start and stop
correctly.

Wanted to test the changes, but I can't find irda-utils-0.9.14 or something
like
that in portage tree or cvs. Or do I have to get the ebuild an patches from the
attachements?

Am I missing something?

Simon

Okay, guys, thanks for the updates.  I have (finally) committed 0.9.15 with
your
changes and some others.  Please try it out, and let me know how it works.

irda-utils-0.9.15, set the correct device in /etc/conf.d/irda and  started
/etc/init.d/irda.  The modules irda and irtty were loaded automatic. after
loading ircomm and ircomm-tty I could sync my Sony Clie with jpilot-sync
(/dev/ircomm0).  I have not tried to get this working for my normal user (get
Permission denied) or with FIR and so on. But it is just for my Clie and
connection to Internet via cell, so speed does not matter.  There are still
(useless) files in /etc/sysconfig/.  Thank you very much, Simon 

Hi, 
 
Added 
# irda 
irda 
irtty 
ircomm 
ircomm-tty 
to /etc/modules.autoload 
 
added a group irda 
irda::28:simon 
 
and /etc/devfs.d/irda 
REGISTER        ^ircomm*        PERMISSIONS root.irda 660 
 
simon@bea simon $ ls -al /dev/ircomm0  
crw-rw----    1 root     irda     161,   0 Dec 16 20:58 /dev/ircomm0 
 
Don't know if that is the "correct" or best way to do that or if the gid is 
normally occupied by someone else. But it works for me.

Simon, I am guessing the /etc/sysconfig stuff is left over from a previous
ebuild.  It should be safe to remove it (if it all just irda stuff).  The ebuild
shouldn't be installing anything there now, though.


Your devfs settings look like exactly the way to go.  I'll see about adding them.

The files in /etc/sysconfig are still being written with v0.9.15

I'm happy to test any changes - I'm running gNokii with a Nokia 6310i phone.

Actually, 0.9.15 does install both /etc/sysconfig and /etc/rc.d stuff, as can
be gleaned from /var/db/pkg/sys-apps/irda-tools-0.9.15/CONTENTS

The script install-etc installs files in /etc/sysconfig if that directory
exists on the system.  I put a fix in the ebuild for this, which I think closes
this bug.
