Bugzilla Bug 95764

A new version of trousers is available:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=126012



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

the old 0.1.7 ebuild works if renamed, after removing the 0.1.7-makefile-
statedir patch.

Created an attachment (id=61060) [edit]
0.1.11-makefile-statedir.patch

I ported the patch to 0.1.11, but it fails for me.

configure.in:8: version mismatch.  This is Automake 1.7.9,
configure.in:8: but the definition used by this AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
configure.in:8: comes from Automake 1.8.5.  You should recreate
configure.in:8: aclocal.m4 with aclocal and run automake again.
configure.in: installing `./mkinstalldirs'

New patched ebuild

Changed automake DEPEND to
>=sys-devel/automake-1.8.5

and in src_compile:
WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.8

attached ebuild

it installs fine here without the makefile-statdir patch. 

this error appears in make install when patch applied:

I've worked too on a 0.1.11 ebuild before finding (eh, ok, before searching
for...) this report. I will attach my ebuild, since it differs a bit anyway:

 * 0.1.11 now uses /var/lib/tpm for storing data, instead of /var/tpm like in
0.1.7, and I think that's right from a LFHS point-of-view. So I've not patched
it to use /var/state. That simplifies compilation a bit (no need to autotool
it). But that also invalidates existing "tss" user's homedir (see note in the
ebuild about a possible wa to fix that).

 * I've added a simple init.d script that can load the tpm module if needed and
then start tcsd.

 * I've dropped the dependency on app-crypt/tpm-module since it's no in 2.6.12
kernel, and added some pkg_setup() checks and einfo instead to deal with the
different possible situations. Sure, it would be cleaner to RDEPEND on "a
>=2.6.12 kernel or the tpm-module", but I'm not sure how to do that:
 - IIRC, it's not right to depend on a versioned virtual, thus we can't
RDEPEND="|| ( >=virtual/linux-sources-2.6.12  app-crypt/tpm )". But i'm not
really sure, so that should be verified with people who know.
 - we could also think of a "virtual/tpm-driver" provided by both
app-crypt/tpm-module and >=2.6.12 kernels, like for alsa drivers, but i guess
that's would be "bloat".

I've also written an ebuild for tpm-tools-1.0.0, but i will attach it to a new
report.

Thankyou TGL. 
 
Thankyou Erik. 
 
Much appreciated. 0.1.11 added. 
 
The only odd think I noted is: 
drwxrwxrwt   2 tss      tss          4096 Jun 19 22:45 ./var/lib/tpm 
 
Are these permissions correct? 

note to self/others - need udev permissions file as described in  
documentation.
