Bug 11139 – KMess 0.9.7 ebuild

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Mike Verdone 2002-11-23 16:42:31 UTC]

To build KMess 0.9.7, just copy the KMess 0.9.6 ebuild and rename to 0.9.7. I 
just tested it and it works fine for me. (the attached e-build is just the 
0.9.6 script). 
 
The KMess SourceForge page shows a version called 0.9.7-2. I was unable to make 
this version work.

KMess 0.9.7 ebuild (exactly the same as 0.9.6)

What do you mean wrt 0.9.7-2? Compilation error? If so, could you please paste the output here?

wrt 0.9.7-2, the problem was my own inexperience with Portage. In any case, I just got 0.9.7-2 
working and will attach the ebuild for it. (Seems to work fine on my PC).

However, I am not clear 
on the proper way to name the file. 0.9.7-2.ebuild will not work, of course, and 0.9.7.2.ebuild is 
innacurate and makes things messy. My solution was to keep the name 0.9.7.ebuild and change the P 
and S variables to download and install 0.9.7-2 instead. Is this correct? I didn't see any info in 
the ebuild-HOWTO.

We have 0.9.8 by now, this should have been closed.
