Here's my first hacky version of an ebuild for Ptolemy II, however, it doesn't seem to fit the current Java guidelines very well (I think its usefulness far outweighs the brutality of install under /opt). I'm still working on refinements with one of the upstream guys, but I'd also like some feedback from the java team. Thanks... From the above website: Ptolemy II is a software framework developed as part of the Ptolemy Project. It is a Java-based component assembly framework with a graphical user interface called Vergil. Vergil itself is a component assembly defined in Ptolemy II. The Ptolemy project studies modeling, simulation, and design of concurrent, real-time, embedded systems. The focus is on assembly of concurrent components. The key underlying principle in the project is the use of well-defined models of computation that govern the interactions between components. A major problem area being addressed is the use of heterogeneous mixtures of models of computation.
Created attachment 131114 [details] Ptolemy II ebuild Initial ebuild; a bit brutal, but it seems to work...
Created attachment 131116 [details, diff] build patch for current tarball Patch to fix make clean.
Created attachment 131117 [details, diff] nopython patch Patch to build without jython.
No update on this bug since 2007. Is there someone still interested in packaging ptolemy? @Steve: are you? if not, I will close this bug.
Reopen if you do want this ebuild.
