This is the first time I have ever written an ebuild. There is a multivalue database called OpenQM. Its under the GPL-2. I have tested it myself and it installs OpenQM properly. However, I would like it checked for a "correctness." By "correctness" I mean that if follows the ebuild standards, etc. I commented it extensively to demonstrate my noobiness. If I'm submitting this in the wrong way, then tell me that too. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. ebuild /usr/local/portage/dev-db/openqm-2.2.0_pre1.ebuild digest 2. emerge -pv openqm 3. Actual Results: It worked with a few compaints from gcc. GCC complaints: warning: use of cast expressions as lvalues is deprecated. usr/qmsys/bin/qmclilib.so will contain runtime text relocations Text relocations require a lot of extra work to be preformed by the dynamic linker which will cause serious performance impact on IA-32 and might not function properly on other architectures hppa for example. If you are a programmer please take a closer look at this package and consider writing a patch which addresses this problem. Expected Results: I think that it should try and use some eutils, but I could not get them to work like I wanted them to.

Unfortunately the whole ebuild is dead ugly. Please remove the load of useless comments. The ebuild header is invalid
Unfortunately the whole ebuild is dead ugly. Please remove the load of useless comments. The ebuild header is invalid¹. And always attach files plain text. And you are not allowed to install anything directly to the system. Your directory base is always ${D} (or ${ROOT} if inevitable).

I did read the handbook, but I was confused on how to move it from the image directory ${D} to the live filessystem. I tried doins and could not get it to work. I tried setting insinto to point to where I wanted it to go, but the ebuild kept trying to put it directly into /. Are you saying, for testing I should never move anything from ${D}, to the live filesystem? What is the proper way of doing this? I also tried functions like dodir using examples from other ebuilds, but I never had any luck with it. So thats why I used things like mkdir and cp. Should I try replacing things like mkdir with dodir? Sorry to submit things that aren't so pretty, but I figured the only way I would learn is to throw it out there. I tried the forums once, but got no response. http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-335133-highlight-openqm.html Thanks for the response.

Disregarding the ebuild state, this thing miserably fails to compile not only w/ gcc-4, but even w/ gcc-3.4.4. WONTFIX.
Ok, whatever, why on earth you're trying to compile with a compiler that isn't even marked stable is beyond me. Thats up to the folks that wrote the QM kernel if they want to make it work with >GCC 3.4. I'm leaving it here (unless someone deletes it), because MAYBE someone will be nice enough to tell me how to fix it, and do it correctly, or if you're really bored and use QM, fix it yourself.
If it does not compile w/ gcc-3.4.4, then it's is broken. Period. If we did put it into the tree, we would have to fix it ourselves, not really an option. BTW, gcc-3.4.4-r1 is marked stable on ppc (and ppc64, amd64 etc.), so please don't put keywords that you did not test to the ebuild. Feel free to reopen this bug when it actually compiles at least on the keyworded ARCHs. Thanks.
My apologies, I'll check on the PPC part of it. I was just going on what I had heard on their mailing lists and website. I did all of my stuff on x86. Sorry, for being 'testy'.
I've posted some questions here in the forums, as I didn't wan't to clutter up the bug posting area. Any help is appreciated. I took away the PPC keyword as I do not have the hardware to test on. I got differing opinions on the openqm mailing lists about whether or not it works on ppc. It worked for some, but didn't for others. Is it possible to get it going for x86 and add the ppc support later? Here is the forum posting: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-2722495.html#2722495

(In reply to comment #9) > Is it possible to get it going for x86 and add the ppc support later? Of course, but it needs to compile at least *g* - and it does not for me.
OK, back to the ebuild: 1/ The version is de facto hardcoded - http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm/docs/mw-faq/hardcoded.txt 2/ No need to depend on virtual/libc. Also, is xinetd mandatory or optional? 3/ Do not use /bin/false as shell, it does not work in other userlands; 'enewuser qm 61 -1 /dev/null qm' is better. 4/ pkg_preinst() - breaks sandbox (see comment #2 and http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm/docs/mw-faq/sandbox.txt) 5/ src_unpack() - I'm lost about that permissions check meaning, probably should be dropped entirely. 6/ src_compile() - einstall in there?! Also, do we really need to use einstall? (http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm/docs/mw-faq/einstall.txt) 7/ src_install() - breaks sandbox 8/ pkg_postinst() - almost all the stuff in there should have been done in previous phases and w/ some better coding. There are probably more. http://dev.gentoo.org/~plasmaroo/devmanual/ http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml?part=2&chap=1 Closing CANTFIX, please attempt a fixed ebuild and reopen then. Thanks.
