Bug 118862 – gnucash-svn ebuild

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Martin Klaffenboeck 2006-01-13 03:05:44 UTC]

Gnucash has a svn version and here is the ebuild which helps you to install Gnucash-svn.

See http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Gentoo for details.  Report troubles here or directly to me ([e-mail])

The ebuild you need to install gnucash-svn.  See the gnucash wiki for details (link above).

Any chance of having this install somewhere besides /usr ?  Most developers install into somwhere like /opt/gnucash/unstable/ ... I can imagine users who would want to help would be more likely to do so if their 1.8.x install was *not* clobbered by an unstable version.

Also, you can safely pull the [R]DEPENDS from the gnucash-1.8.12 ebuild ... they've not yet substantially changed.

You can simply use

# PREFIX=/opt/gnucash/unstable/ emerge gnucash-svn

for that.

I think this should be the default ... end-users should *NOT* have their stable install clobbered by this script.

See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=328858 for the libgsf/goffice installed-into-/usr problem we discussed on irc://irc.gnome.org/gnucash .

I guess I'm fine to resolve as won't, otherwise some Gnome dev may reopen.

I updated the ebuild to generate gnc-svninfo.h, so that the SVN sources will compile again. It's not done at unpack() time, but at compile() time, so that it's ugly.

I also added a compile-time dependency on g-wrap.

I renamed the ebuild to gnucash-svn-20060304.ebuild.

Updated ebuild.

FWIW, http://svn.gnucash.org/repo/gnucash/trunk/packaging/gnucash-1.9.x.ebuild now supports SVN as well based on its name.
