Bug 273353 – dev-util/aptana ebuild proposal

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Matteo 'The Peach' Pescarin 2009-06-09 13:37:06 UTC]

Aptana Studio is an Eclipse-based IDE for web 2.0 development, supporting natively javascript, php, ruby and their frameworks.

Since I don't see any ebuild for Aptana, maybe someone can be interested in having it installed system wide, hence the ebuild I'm proposing

I've tested only with xulrunner-bin-1.8 installed, so I'm not sure whether xulrunner from sources is installed there (/usr/lib/xulrunner) and I've set no use flags restriction on it.
there's a bug for porting it to xulrunner 1.9 which will be the standard, so I'm proposing the -bin version over the source version of 1.8.

There's no 64bit version for Aptana, as long as the authors suggest to use the Eclipse plugin for it.

thank you if you're willing to test this.

I would say, we should stay with Eclipse plugin installation. Otherwise we'll have the whole Eclipse binaries in the system twice.

true. but I think it's more a choice between the two. 
I prefer this one over eclipse because this is "dedicated" to web 2.0 development (js, php, ruby and so on and their frameworks) while I do see eclipse as too much for my needs.

Anyway, I still object to have a complete eclipse based IDE aside Eclipse SDK which is also binary only.

I think that's the reason why the eclipse plugin exists

And that's why it shouldn't be a package but installed manually.

hehe 
but this isn't the eclipse plugin. This is the standalone version. consider it as a fork of Eclipse. This isn't Eclipse.
Moreover the install procedure for this standalone version is a little bit complicated and filled with dependancies that *maybe* someone would prefer it as an ebuild. Secondly *maybe* someone may want it installed system wide for multiuser environments.
I don't get why so many problems with this ebuild.

dev-util/aptana-2.0.5.ebuild

New ebuild for version 2.0.5 (amd64 only) of Aptana.

[Comment 9 Adeel 2010-12-18 06:31:43 UTC]

Just installed this ebuild, and while it successfully installs; it does not copy/install the AptanaProfile.profile which is needed to install plugins. Manually copying the file from the src archive solved my problem.

One thing to note is that I had to change permissions to allow Aptana to run outside of root. I created a separate devel group on my box and modified permissions accordingly.

This issue is very outdated, should be closed.
