hi. i wanted to inform you guys that i ecopy'd www-client/conkeror into my overlay and it worked without any hassles. the only change i needed to make after the install was to symlink ~/.gre.d to $EPREFIX/etc/gre.d
Does it use your system's xulrunner or the one from prefix?
oops. i had created a symlink called gre.d in my home folder instead of *.*gre.d which was making conkeror use the system's xulrunner. when i 'fixed' this and made conkeror use gentoo prefix's xulrunner, it started segfaulting whenever i tried to load a site. the same happens with www-client/mozilla-firefox though (which is already in gentoo prefix).
After a recent update to xulrunner, both conkeror and mozilla-firefox began to work on both my rhel4 and fc11 boxes. Reopening. The user probably needs to be informed to set the ~/.gre.d link to use gentoo prefix's etc/gre.d .

As I maintain conkeror I would not like to see an ecopied ebuild in the Prefix overlay, but the work be done in the main tree. How can I test for a Prefix environment for an according elog message? use prefix?
Another fix for this problem is to change usr/lib/conkeror/contrib/run-conkeror from if [[ -d "/etc/gre.d" ]]; then xr=$(check-gre /etc/gre.d 2>/dev/null) fi to if [[ -d "/path/to/gentoo/prefix/etc/gre.d" ]]; then xr=$(check-gre /path/to/gentoo/prefix/etc/gre.d 2>/dev/null) fi This way, the user doesn't have to know about .gre.d and can have both a system version and a gentoo prefix version of conkeror installed and using their respective xulrunners by default.

That makes little sense to me. If you're sedding anyway, you can immediately put EPREFIX in there. If you come up with a patch to add @GENTOO_PORTAGE_EPREFIX@, then using eprefixify is the right thing.

As I am not able to test it properly in my Prefix environments, I will prepare a patched ebuild in the next couple of days (latest on monday) and attach it here. Chetan, can you test it then and report back?
Created attachment 221061 [details] Prefix-aware ebuild for Conkeror Please try.
thanks fauli. it worked but only after i changed the sed command to sed -e "s:/etc/gre.d:\"${EPREFIX}/etc/gre.d\":g" -i "${D}${EPREFIX}"/usr/lib/conkeror/contrib/run-conkeror || die One weird thing i noticed is that ${D} ends with a slash, whereas the ebuild manual states that it is ${PORTAGE_BUILDDIR}/image without a slash. Not a problem here though, just something i noticed while debugging.
Done, thanks for your test.
