Bug 151070 – [new ebuild] GridFlow, an external for PureData

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Federico Ferri (RETIRED) 2006-10-12 13:25:44 UTC]

GridFlow is a powerful environment that works with matrixes and it has many applications, like image manipulation, transformations and more.

it is designed as a PureData (media-sound/pd) external.
it has many USE flag to configure its many options.
it optionally depends on Gem (media-video/gem) (another PureData external) see bug #87779, i released an update for gem-0.90.0.ebuild

I hope this is a quality ebuild and gets soon into portage tree, cause many users are waiting for it ;)

gridflow-0.8.4.ebuild

this is the main ebuild. it installs gridflow.so and gridflow.pd_linux

gridflow-extra-0.8.4.ebuild

this installs extra files for puredata into /usr/lib/pd/extra/gridflow

added a better error message, in case that Gem sources aren't anymore in $PORTAGE_TMPDIR (e.g: missing 'keepwork' feature?), that is:

 * Cannot find GEM workdir. (/var/tmp/portage/gem-0.90.0/work/gem-0.90.0)
 * You can solve this by rebuilding gem with:
 * FEATURES=keepwork emerge gem gridflow

hope this is the right way of operating, because:

 # gridflow's build system has to look for a set
 # of *configured* Gem-sources.
 # since when 'gem' USE flag is set, gem becomes a dependency,
 # after gem has compiled, the sources should be still there (?)

I offer to maintain this ebuild, since now I am in contact with GridFlow's developers, and hopefully I would contribute in some way.

What are requisites/rules/guidelines for doing this?


EBUILD NOTE: dependency on #87779 is optional (conditioned by the gem USE-flag)
EBUILD NOTE 2: I plan to join gridflow and gridflow-extra ebuilds since doesn't make much sense not installing the extra package.
EBUILD NOTE 3: I am preparing a gridflow-cvs ebuild cause in the next days GridFlow will have a bugtracker (cheers!:D)
