fix some path for translations

qt4-r2.eclass based ebuild

Description bartoz 2010-10-06 22:14:56 UTC
I have been trying to make an ebuild for this software myself, but with no results.
Is anybody able to provide a working ebuild?
I think this could be very useful to anyone using kde on gentoo.
Thanks.

Reproducible: Always

my failed attempt

there is little point to package dead software (see http://kdropbox.deuteros.es/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=57:stopping&catid=1:latest-news ). Anyway i tried, but the build system is bugged as hell. I tried to fix the translations part (see the next patch), but qmake doesn't generate the install_target if run by portage. if i run it manually it is generated as expected. The *DEPEND part is missing couse since i can't install it i can't check the rdeps....

I post this just in case someone is intrested, but i don't think this is really usefull

not correct ebuild

Ok i just installed the bin manually. I didn't tested it. For sure this is not the correct way to package it, i'm sorry i have no more time to work on this
Comment 4 bartoz 2010-10-07 15:41:19 UTC
Thank you for you try..
I emerged your ebuild and the program starts..
Maybe i will try to improve it; I will update this bug in case.

qt4-r2.eclass based ebuild

Work in progress - need patching to allow selection of translations to be installed.

version which filters for locally specified translations

Making the translations generate these warnings: Charset "CHARSET" is not a portable encoding name.

May also need MySql and specific QT deps.
Comment 9 urcindalo 2011-03-24 18:08:28 UTC
Is this ebuild actually usable? I need dropbox for my work and don't want to break anything on my system. Currently I use the recently-masked net-misc/dropbox-1.0.20 from the rion overlay.

I wouldn't like to install nautilus-dropbox in the tree because I try not to install nautilus or other gnome dependencies.

Thanks.

Hi there..
I am currently using this plugin for dolphin:

http://trichard-kde.blogspot.com/2010/12/introducing-dropbox-integration-for.html

You can find an ebuild in the calculate overlay (layman -a calculate)
It actually works for me with the dropbox daemon and dolphin 4.6.1.
In case of problems, just ask.

:)

Thanks for your help. This plugin is very useful and I wasn't aware of it. But I just took a look at its ebuild and it seems to me it relies on an already-present installation of dropbox. Am I wrong?
Comment 12 bartoz 2011-03-25 06:45:45 UTC
That's correct.
You can follow these instructions to get the daemon:

http://wiki.dropbox.com/TipsAndTricks/TextBasedLinuxInstall

..or you could even try to improve the ebuild to do this automatically and open a new bug to share it with the community!

In the portage tree now, enjoy...
Comment 14 Alexey Shildyakov 2011-06-19 13:48:20 UTC
It's not compile. Please check bug 372263
Comment 15 bartoz 2011-06-19 14:57:48 UTC
That ebuild is outdated.
I posted a working one for version 0.4.7 on the thread of the other bug.
I'm posting it also here for everyone's convenience.

kfilebox-0.4.7.ebuild

Working updated version
Comment 17 Andreas K. Hüttel archtester gentoo-dev 2011-06-19 15:11:01 UTC
Hey guys, please at least try the ebuild in the main tree first before reporting problems! :)
Comment 18 bartoz 2011-06-19 15:19:02 UTC
Mmhh..
In fact I do not see any ebuilds for kfilebox in the main tree (I just synced)..
There is one in an overlay:

http://gpo.zugaina.org/kde-misc/kfilebox/

which is the one I posted.

Never mind, it appeared..
So we need a version bump to 0.4.7 :-D
