I needed sphinx-0.6 for a project, and portage only goes to 0.4. I built a new ebuild for 0.6, and it compiled beautifully. I am doing further testing to make sure everything works ok. BTW - the gcc-3.4 patches needed for the 0.4 version are not needed for 0.6.
Created attachment 82425 [details] sphinx2-0.6 ebuild configuration
tested the ebuild by running the sphinx2-test script, as well as recording my own speech file. Both scripts worked without a problem. My test speech file was a recorded speech file with the words "one two three four", running through the turtle vocabulary.
Hey David, a few comments about your package: 1) When submitting new ebuilds, we request that you leave the header information in-tact. Please read this document for more information: http://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/file-format/index.html 2) When it's just revision bumps similar to this one, it's not necessary to repost the ebuild. I see you removed the epatch line, which means that "inherit eutils" is no longer needed. Mentioning that the gcc patch is no longer needed is sufficient, but I do thank you for pointing out that there was something that needed changing. Since removal of the "epatch" line is hardly something copyrightable and it is abundandtly evident that the attached ebuild was modified from the original script already copyrighted by the Gentoo Foundation, the header information has been re-added and the version bump has been added to portage. Please remember to add the header information next time, though. Thanks for the version bump!
Jon, thanks for the pointers. This was my first ebuild mod, so I appreciate the coaching. I have contributed a couple of other ebuilds, and have been using the guide since then.
