Bugzilla Bug 178716

Os-portable archiver (Windows, Linux). Features archive volume spanning,
compression, authenticated encryption. Supports 7Z, 7-Zip sfx, ARJ, BZip2, CAB,
CHM, CPIO, DEB, GZip, ISO, JAR, LHA, LZH, NSIS, OOo, PAQ, PEA, QUAD, RAR, RPM,
split, TAR, Z, ZIP.

I know some people who use it, and upstream is active.

I wrote an ebuild, will attach it in a moment.

Unfortunately, the program is written in Pascal and it would be difficult to
compile manually, so this is a binary distribution, and works only on x86 and
amd64.

I tested it on amd64 stable system, but it should also work on x86.

peazip-1.7.ebuild

This is the proposed ebuild. For category I suggest app-arch.

Bumped to version 1.8

hello? why isn't this on portage?

Peazip 1.9

Bump to version 1.9

Why do you all bump the whole ebuild, if the changes you make are only minor
(one-two lines)? It just makes the attachments section more cluttered, and may
make it harder for devs to see a clear image... more noise does not mean more
success.

1.9 ebuild appears to work (so far) for 2.2, with just renaming it

Created an attachment (id=171184) [details]
1.9 renamed works with 2.3a also

(From update of attachment 171184 [details])
1.9 renamed works with 2.3a (latest version)

src_compile() {
        true # no compilation required, it's binary package
}


Wuut? With all due respect and not to overly criticize the people who wrote the
ebuild, but... "It's a binary package"?  I wish to remind everyone that this is
Gentoo and the application in question is Open Source...

well, you're right, but after a quick look at the sources i understood the
reason why... from readme.txt
--------------------------
To compile sources you need Lazarus IDE
(https://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus).
Open .lpi project files and do "build all" to compile the executables.
Please read the following documentation to understand what is contained in the 
source package and please see precompiled program's packages to know what third 
parts executables (7z, arc, paq...) are needed by PeaZip.
--
Seems that the code can be compiled with the free pascal compiler, but we need
a build tool to (hopefully) bypass the ide... in fact that's why we have make,
cmake, automake, autotools... etc... 

(this is an automated message based on filtering criteria that matched this
bug)
'EBUILD' is in the KEYWORDS which should mean that there is a ebuild attached 
to this bug.
This bug is assigned to maintainer-wanted which means that it is not in the 
main tree.
Heuristics show that no Gentoo developer has commented on your ebuild.

Hello, The Gentoo Team would like to firstly thank you for your ebuild 
submission. We also apologize for not being able to accommodate you in a timely
manner. There are simply too many new packages.

Allow me to use this opportunity to introduce you to Gentoo Sunrise. The 
sunrise overlay[1] is a overlay for Gentoo which we allow trusted users to 
commit to and all users can have ebuilds reviewed by Gentoo devs for entry 
into the overlay. So, the sunrise team is suggesting that you look into this 
and submit your ebuild to the overlay where even *you* can commit to. =)

Because this is a mass message, we are also asking you to be patient with us. 
We anticipate a large number of requests in a short time. 

Thanks,
On behalf of the Gentoo Sunrise Team,
Jeremy.

I would really like to see peazip in the portage tree again. Is there some
progress on this yet?

Yes, at least the binaries if it cant be compiled by portage.
