PyMOL v0.99 is released, portage version bump should be in order. In a moment I will attach almost working ebuild for new pymol version.
Created attachment 81095 [details] pymol 0.99 ebuild I am submitting almost working ebuild, I need some help to make it fully functional. Changes from 0.98: Tarball name is pymol-0_99rc1-src.tgz (note rc1, even though this is the actual release, not just release candidate) Added dependencies: dev-lang/tcl media-libs/freetype Now the problems I am having: In 0.98 there was pymol.com thatp was filtered through sed and became the pymol binary. In 0.99 there is no pymol.com there are several files pymol.com.* in setup subdirectory. pymol.com.basic seems to be working but it needs to be changed. Original pymol.com.basic looks like this: #!/bin/sh PYMOL_PATH=${HOME}/pymol export PYMOL_PATH if [ "$PYTHONPATH" == "" ]; then PYTHONPATH=${PYMOL_PATH}/modules else PYTHONPATH=${PYMOL_PATH}/modules:${PYTHONPATH} fi export PYTHONPATH # python $PYMOL_PATH/modules/pymol/__init__.py "$@" The PYMOL_PATH is obviously wrong ($HOME ?) This file needs to be chnaging to this: #!/bin/sh PYMOL_PATH=/usr/share/doc/pymol-0.99/ export PYMOL_PATH /usr/bin/python /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pymol/__init__.py "$@" Unfortunately, I do not know enough sed/ebuild to accomplish this, I really do not know how to find python version and setup path /usr/lib/python2.4. There is one more important change in 0.99: In 0.98 during installation the following directory is created: /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pymol/pymol_path/ This containts 4 subdirectories and a file: data examples LICENSE scripts test I am not sure if examples, scripts or test are good for something, but data is important since it contains demo files. In 0.99 the pymol_path dir is not created during installation and thus demo files are missing. Looking into 0.98 ebuild, it turns out that there is special handling for examples subdirectories, it is copied into /usr/share/doc/pymol-0.99/examples/. Therefore I moved content of the other subdirectories into /usr/share/doc/pymol-0.99/ as well. Once PYMOL_PATH is setup to /usr/share/doc/pymol-0.99/ everything works as expected. To sum up, what is required is write couple of lines that will convert pymol.com.basic to the form I specified above, or just create pymol script with the three lines from scratch. The only tricky part (for me) is to figure out python2.4. In my case, I changed pymol script by hand and everything seems to be working fine.
I did about the same thing as you, only after I "ebuild pymol-0.99.ebuild unpack" I edited /var/tmp/portage/pymol-0.99/work/pymol-0.99/setup/pymol.com.basic to the following: #!/bin/sh # # PyMOL startup script for "ext"-based installs # # ============================================================== # Set PYMOL_PATH to point at the correct location on your system # PYMOL_PATH=/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/pymol export PYMOL_PATH # # ============================================================== # (no changes usually required below here) # # python modules # if [ "$PYTHONPATH" == "" ]; then PYTHONPATH=${PYMOL_PATH}/modules else PYTHONPATH=${PYMOL_PATH}/modules:${PYTHONPATH} fi export PYTHONPATH # python $PYMOL_PATH/__init__.py "$@" So far everything is working okay...I have some scripts from the pymol wiki that are running fine, (in /usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages) and /usr/share/doc/pymol-0.99 was created (with CHANGES.gz DEVELOPERS.gz README.gz). Looks good....
You get the python version from python.eclass. First run python_version(), then $PYVER is set to the major.minor (e.g., 2.3, 2.4).
je_fro: I think that for your configuration demos do not work. Can you test it?
Created attachment 81151 [details] Updated pymol 0.99 ebuild Here is updated ebuild, it does everything I wanted and works for me without problems. The only thing is that I would prefer that examples, data, tests and scripts would go to /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pymol/ instead of /usr/share/doc/, but when I try this I get "permission denied": mv: cannot move `data' to `/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pymol/data': Permission denied Is there something that can be done about this?
Added 0.99 to portage. If you'd like, take a look at how I've done things differently.
