Don't know why, on one of my Gentoo installation (with X, KDE and stuff like that) it didn't work with "missing libXinerama.so.1.0.0". Will check that later today. conardcox@gmail.com 2008-06-22 18:28:45 0000 (In reply to comment #2) > Created an attachment (id=157391) [edit] > x11-misc/googleearth-4.3.7204.836.ebuild > > Ebuild is just a quick hack from the one already included in portage.

This seems to be the standard way of getting updates these days. carlo@gentoo.org 2008-07-13 21:53:27 0000 *** Bug 231608 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** scottfk@yahoo.com 2008-07-14 02:28:46 0000 Nice how a perfectly functional ebuild has languished for a month without a commit to portage. I think this is the current Gentoo way of saying, "Welcome. Please enjoy your (limited) stay. carlo@gentoo.org 2008-07-18 21:56:58 0000 *** Bug 232214 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Gentoo-bugs@Lini.de 2008-07-21 09:01:09 0000 Is there anything which could be done about this? At the moment it is impossible to install Google Earth at all, so it is unusable if you're not so lucky that you're having an earlier version installed already. This version is tagged "stable" in portage, but IMHO that's inappropriate for something that doesn't even install. I also think that the severity of this bug should be "major" because I think it's a "major loss of function" to be not able to install and use this package. (See also bug 232214 and bug 232419.) I know about the problem with the unversioned download link, but is there nothing which could be done about that? Wouldn't it suffice to write a small script which regularily checks that site and sends an email to the maintainer in case the download changes? ps@twin.jikos.cz 2008-07-21 09:17:22 0000 do you know whether its really prohibited that we put the binary into gentoo mirrors? i didn't see such exact clause in license. wsherwin@gmail.com 2008-07-22 03:39:59 0000 Why has this ebuild not yet been put into the Portage tree? jasper@amiton.co.nz 2008-07-23 21:17:55 0000 I would be happy to maintain this package, if needed. It would certainly appear that no-one else wants to maintain it, yet plenty of people would like to see it in Portage. imbezol@criticaldamage.com 2008-07-24 01:26:49 0000 bump carlo@gentoo.org 2008-08-01 23:31:08 0000 *** Bug 233656 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** carlo@gentoo.org 2008-08-01 23:36:48 0000 (In reply to comment #9) > Why has this ebuild not yet been put into the Portage tree? > The maintainer is currently away.

I have included the above ebuild in my personal overlay: https://svn.tar.bz/repos/pkalin/trunk/README.txt Feel free to use it. I have updated the Manifest to the new version, so you have to delete the old GoogleEarthLinux.bin in ${DISTDIR} first, otherwise it will not emerge. BTW, the new version seems _very_ fast to scroll on my laptop, it used to crawl (even when bitmaps were cached). daniel.wallace@akibauplink.com 2008-08-05 15:02:13 0000 If I had time, I'd pursue this further because I hate people who complain but don't offer to help, but I simply don't have time right now. What little time I did spend on this revealed something that might help a little. There are versioned links to the downloads. It won't help when a minor minor version update is released, eg 4.2.2 to 4.2.3, but should help avoid problems when a minor version update is released, eg 4.2 to 4.3. http://dl.google.com/earth/client/GE4/release_4_2/GoogleEarthLinux.bin http://dl.google.com/earth/client/GE4/release_4_3/GoogleEarthLinux.bin Using those links could also allow leaving the 4.2 ebuild in portage (though it would need to be edited to use the new link), and put in a new ebuild for 4.3. I hope this helps someone qualified to update portage. kalin@ThinRope.net 2008-08-06 02:18:32 0000 Thank you Daniel, as a starter, see below. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r274 | Kalin.KOZHUHAROV | 2008-08-06 11:14:55 +0900 (Wed, 06 Aug 2008) | 19 lines Trying to incorporate the idea form comment #16 (bug #221105)... The problem: Google only provides one SRC_URI per major release which maps to the latest source in that major branch, so it often changes making it impossible to have stable ebuild... The solution: Ask Google to stop doing that and have SRC_URIs with version info inside The workaround: This ebuild has a workaround which checks the version inside the source package end bails if there is no match. Unfortunately it turns RESTRICT="fetch" which makes it difficult to use... Apparently Google has bumped the current 4.3 release to 4.3.7284.3916, so I updated the ebuild. Will update the 4.2 release as well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [pkalin overlay] https://svn.tar.bz/repos/pkalin/trunk/README.txt wormo@gentoo.org 2008-08-09 18:15:18 0000 Thanks Daniel for finding the somewhat-versioned download links. At least there can now be a stable ebuild for 4.2 that is unlikely to keep breaking, as well as a 4.3 ebuild that will keep needing to be renamed until the 4.4 series comes out. Thanks also Kalin for posting your ideas, though I'm sticking with the existing non-fetch-restricted strategy for now. 157391 2008-06-18 07:04 0000 x11-misc/googleearth-4.3.7204.836.ebuild googleearth-4.3.7204.836.ebuild text/plain IyBDb3B5cmlnaHQgMTk5OS0yMDA4IEdlbnRvbyBGb3VuZGF0aW9uCiMgRGlzdHJpYnV0ZWQgdW5k ZXIgdGhlIHRlcm1zIG9mIHRoZSBHTlUgR2VuZXJhbCBQdWJsaWMgTGljZW5zZSB2MgojICRIZWFk ZXI6ICQKCmluaGVyaXQgZXV0aWxzIGZkby1taW1lCgpERVNDUklQVElPTj0iQSAzRCBpbnRlcmZh Y2UgdG8gdGhlIHBsYW5ldCIKSE9NRVBBR0U9Imh0dHA6Ly9lYXJ0aC5nb29nbGUuY29tLyIKU1JD X1VSST0iaHR0cDovL2RsLmdvb2dsZS5jb20vZWFydGgvY2xpZW50L2N1cnJlbnQvR29vZ2xlRWFy dGhMaW51eC5iaW4iCgpMSUNFTlNFPSJnb29nbGVlYXJ0aCBNSVQgWDExIFNHSS1CLTEuMSBvcGVu c3NsIGFzLWlzIFpMSUIiClNMT1Q9IjAiCktFWVdPUkRTPSJhbWQ2NCB4ODYiClJFU1RSSUNUPSJt aXJyb3Igc3RyaXAiCklVU0U9IiIKClJERVBFTkQ9Ing4Nj8gKAoJbWVkaWEtbGlicy9mb250Y29u ZmlnCgltZWRpYS1saWJzL2ZyZWV0eXBlCgl2aXJ0dWFsL29wZW5nbAoJeDExLWxpYnMvbGliSUNF Cgl4MTEtbGlicy9saWJTTQoJeDExLWxpYnMvbGliWDExCgl4MTEtbGlicy9saWJYY3Vyc29yCgl4 MTEtbGlicy9saWJYZXh0Cgl4MTEtbGlicy9saWJYZnQKCXgxMS1saWJzL2xpYlhyZW5kZXIKCXgx MS1saWJzL2xpYlhpbmVyYW1hICkKCWFtZDY0PyAoCglhcHAtZW11bGF0aW9uL2VtdWwtbGludXgt eDg2LXhsaWJzCglhcHAtZW11bGF0aW9uL2VtdWwtbGludXgteDg2LWJhc2VsaWJzCgl8fCAoCgkJ Pj1hcHAtZW11bGF0aW9uL2VtdWwtbGludXgteDg2LXhsaWJzLTcuMAoJCXgxMS1kcml2ZXJzL252 aWRpYS1kcml2ZXJzCgkJPHgxMS1kcml2ZXJzL2F0aS1kcml2ZXJzLTguMjguOCApICkKCW1lZGlh LWZvbnRzL3R0Zi1iaXRzdHJlYW0tdmVyYSIKClM9IiR7V09SS0RJUn0iCgpzcmNfdW5wYWNrKCkg ewoJdW5wYWNrX21ha2VzZWxmCgkjIG1ha2UgdGhlIHBvc3RpbnN0IHNjcmlwdCBvbmx5IGNyZWF0 ZSB0aGUgZmlsZXM7IGl0J3MgIGluc3RhbGxhdGlvbgoJIyBhcmUgdG9vIGNvbXBsaWNhdGVkIGFu ZCBpbnNlcnRpbmcgdGhlbSBvdXJzZWx2ZXMgaXMgZWFzaWVyIHRoYW4KCSMgaGFja2luZyBhcm91 bmQgaXQKCXNlZCAtaSAtZSAnczokU0VUVVBfSU5TVEFMTFBBVEgvOjonIFwKCQktZSAnczokU0VU VVBfSU5TVEFMTFBBVEg6MTonIFwKCQktZSAiczpeeGRnLWRlc2t0b3AtaWNvbi4qJDo6IiBcCgkJ LWUgInM6XnhkZy1kZXNrdG9wLW1lbnUuKiQ6OiIgXAoJCS1lICJzOl54ZGctbWltZS4qJDo6IiBw b3N0aW5zdGFsbC5zaAp9CgpzcmNfaW5zdGFsbCgpIHsKCW1ha2Vfd3JhcHBlciAke1BOfSAuLyR7 UE59IC9vcHQvJHtQTn0gLiB8fCBkaWUgIm1ha2Vfd3JhcHBlciBmYWlsZWQiCgkuL3Bvc3RpbnN0 YWxsLnNoCglpbnNpbnRvIC91c3Ivc2hhcmUvbWltZS9wYWNrYWdlcwoJZG9pbnMgJHtQTn0tbWlt ZXR5cGVzLnhtbAoJZG9tZW51IEdvb2dsZS0ke1BOfS5kZXNrdG9wCglkb2ljb24gJHtQTn0taWNv bi5wbmcKCWRvZG9jIFJFQURNRS5saW51eAoKCWNkIGJpbgoJdGFyIHhmICIke1dPUktESVJ9Ii8k e1BOfS1saW51eC14ODYudGFyCglleGVpbnRvIC9vcHQvJHtQTn0KCWRvZXhlICoKCgljZCAiJHtE fSIvb3B0LyR7UE59Cgl0YXIgeGYgIiR7V09SS0RJUn0iLyR7UE59LWRhdGEudGFyCgoJY2QgIiR7 RH0iCgkjIG1pbWUgbWFnaWMgZm9yIGdub21lIGJ5IEVkIENhdG11ciBpbiBidWcgMTQxMzcxCgll cGF0Y2ggIiR7RklMRVNESVJ9Ii9taW1lLW1hZ2ljLnBhdGNoCgoJIyBtYWtlIHN1cmUgd2UgaW5z dGFsbCB3aXRoIGNvcnJlY3QgcGVybWlzc2lvbnMKCWZvd25lcnMgLVIgcm9vdDpyb290IC9vcHQv JHtQTn0KCWZwZXJtcyAtUiBhLXgsYStYIC9vcHQvZ29vZ2xlZWFydGgve3htbCxyZXNvdXJjZXN9 Cn0KCnBrZ19wb3N0aW5zdCgpIHsKCWZkby1taW1lX2Rlc2t0b3BfZGF0YWJhc2VfdXBkYXRlCglm ZG8tbWltZV9taW1lX2RhdGFiYXNlX3VwZGF0ZQp9Cg==
