Bug 259786 – Suggested updates to sys-fs/btrfs-progs

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description John W Eckhart 2009-02-21 07:31:55 UTC]

I've attached the ebuild I'm using in my local overlay for btrfs-progs. Updates include:

1) Patch Makefile to allow $(bindir) override (see attached patch)
2) Use emake install instead of manually installing bin files. This allows changes to the underlying structure to be easily incorporated, such as the recent addition of manpages
3) Add IUSE=python and check for python before adding python scripts

Thanks very much!  I will take a look at these.

Would love to see some of these changes make it into the release ebuilds, default depending on matplotlib (which likes to bring lots of X with it) for a single debugging script is rather harsh.

Fixed in the live ebuild as well as 0.18:

* Added new use flag: debug-utils, which controls installation of
  debug-tree and show-blocks - this allows us, by default, not to
  depend on matplotlib (I agree that it's silly to pull all this
  stuff in by default)

Note that I did not add the two other suggestions:

* USE python is not required, since python is part of the system set
* We do not want to allow random changes in file system structure
  (i.e. using /usr/local rather than /usr) - different for prefix portage
  of course
