Bug 148586 – sys-apps/einit-0.12.1.ebuild (New Package, Update)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Magnus Deininger 2006-09-21 16:53:38 UTC]

Hello everyone,

For the last few months I've been writing this init-replacement called eINIT. It came up a couple o' times in the forum's OTW section and in my signature. Since just recently Ubuntu has announced their own replacement for init -- upstart -- I've been trying to get this program done a little faster than I had originally intended to. Now, since I'm only using Gentoo/Linux on my desktop machine, I wrote this live cvs-ebuild to help me maintain test-copies of eINIT on my boxes. I've also placed links to the project itself and a portage overlay with this ebuild in my forum signature, however I figured that, since eINIT is rather stable as of late, I might submit this ebuild for inclusion in the main portage tree -- it's no use to anyone if it's idling in my signature and in a private portage overlay of mine, now is it?

In my overlay, I used sys-apps/einit as a package name, thus I would suggest that. This is a Live CVS-ebuild and it depends on dev-libs/expat. If documentation is to be generated (via the doc-use-flag) it also depends on app-text/docbook-sgml and app-doc/doxygen. I tested the overlay on my box, and it seemed to work flawlessly.

Greetings,
Magnus

re-open when there's an actual release; we're not adding a livecvs package to the tree when there is no one who can take care of it

Alright, I did as you suggested and waited till the next release, which happened about an hour ago. I created this ebuild for the 0.10 version, requirements should be the same.

As for maintaining, I'd volunteer for that if there's no maintainer interested...
