Bug 176083 – ebuild request: mod_auth_imap

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Thomas Beutin 2007-04-26 08:28:15 UTC]

Hi, just a question: is there any chance to get mod_auth_imap for apache2 from http://ben.brillat.net/projects/mod_auth_imap/ into the regular portage tree?

Maybe it helps when i try to bring in an adopted ebuild file (copy&paste from .../net-www/mod_auth_pgsql/mod_auth_pgsql-2.0.3-r1.ebuild)?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

i try to write an ebuild for this package, but it make some headache to me:
- the archiv file name is mod_auth_imap2-2.2.0.tar.gz
- the base directory in the source archive is "mod_auth_imap2-2.2.0/"
- but the name of the module source file is "mod_auth_imap.c" and not mod_auth_imap2.c"

What sould i do?
- sould i rename the source file after unpacking the archive? (And how can i do this in the ebuild file?)
- sould i provide a different archive where the source file is already renamed?

And should this ebuild be named "net-www/mod_auth_imap" or "net-www/mod_auth_imap2" (what i actually guess to be the right name)

And BTW: ist it ok to ask this kind of questions here?

Heh, I am trying to write an ebuild for it too. However, I am having the same problem as you.

I did try to change the name of the .c file from mod_auth_imap.c to mod_auth_imap2.c and it worked flawlessly. I will attach both my ebuild and my *modified* tarball.

Modified tarball(source file renamed)

I changed the name of the source file so apache-module eclass can compile it. I also find it rather stupid that apache-module.eclass doesn't have a function where you can specify source files. This would help in the case we are having right now.

Updated ebuild

In this ebuild I have changed the name of the .c file in src_unpack so that apache-module can compile the correct .c file. Much cleaner.

Well... this is a properly working ebuild for mod_auth_imap2 without nasty copying of c files :)

Have fun
