Bug 45631 – gentoo branded gaim

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Patrick McLean 2004-03-24 11:40:41 UTC]

I just created a new ebuild for gaim that changes the version to the gaim version with the gentoo release appended (in this case 0.75-gentoo-r11) and adds a short blurb in help>about on the fact that this is a modified version of gaim, and not to report bugs to the gaim developers.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

New ebuild that applies the patch

This uses an edited patch, and uses sed to edit the patch so it works with
whatever version of gaim the ebuild is for.

The patch that changes teh version string and about box

The ebuild seems to compile, and modify the version strings properly but I haven't had a chance to actually test it yet (I'm at school on a windows box).

fixed ebuild

I commented out seding the perl plugin makefile, changed the einstall to "make
install DISTDIR=${D}" (as per the developers HOWTO) and added a sed of the po
makefile to make it look for the mkinstalldirs script in the right place.

I tested this and it compiles cleanly, and gaim --version reports the gentoo
branding.

Good call on the einstall replacement.

This is in CVS.
