This is an ebuild for pybliographer, a program for managing a bibliographic database. This ebuild was a bit of a pain to make, so I'm putting it here for others who may need it. There are a couple of quirks which may make it unsuitable for incorporation into portage. The first is that the graphical frontend (the pybliographic program) only works if gnome-python has been emerged with the "gnome" USE flag. The second quirk is that it needs a modified version of recode. The pybliographic website claims that it works with recode-3.5, however I couldn't get the program to start with this version of recode. With recode-3.6 which is currently in portage, pybliographic will start, but it will not save files. In order to make it work I have created a new recode ebuild which incorporates Debian's patch from http://packages.debian.org/stable/text/recode.html. I have not filed this as a bug against recode, because I don't at this stage know what the bug is (and I really need to start writing my essay!). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Created attachment 11209 [details] ebuild for pybliographer 1.0.11
Created attachment 11210 [details, diff] stops configure from bombing out if recode is not version 3.5
Created attachment 11211 [details] ebuild for recode-3.6 which works with pybliographic
Created attachment 11212 [details, diff] debian's patch for recode with paths changed to work with gentoo autopatch
this will take a while because of the complexity of that recode patch that needs to be verified.
No problem. The recode patch may also be relevant to bug 20141 . . . it seems to fix that problem as well (UTF-8 encoding not working on PPC).
I applied all the patches, but still get the following error: checking for Gnome-Python... found checking for Gnome-Python threads... not found configure: error: this version is too old. Please install gnome-python, version >= 1.0.52 !!! ERROR: app-sci/pybliographer-1.0.11 failed. !!! Function econf, Line 304, Exitcode 1 !!! econf failed I have the latest ebuild of gnome-python (1.4.4).
Gualter, Do you know if gnome-python was compiled with "USE=gnome"? I had a problem until I applied that flag, but I can't remember what it was exactly . . . actually I think it might have been something to do with gdk-pixbuf, not to do with threads . . . but it's just a thought.
The ebuilds and patches work nicely, but I've run into the usual problems with pybliographer, e.g. rzirzaraz% pybliographic Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/pybliographer", line 168, in ? execfile (filename, user_global) File "/usr/local/share/pybliographer/pybliographic.py", line 26, in ? from Pyblio.GnomeUI.Pybliographic import Pybliographic File "/usr/local/share/pybliographer/Pyblio/GnomeUI/Pybliographic.py", line 28, in ? File "/usr/local/share/pybliographer/Pyblio/GnomeUI/Document.py", line 28, in ? File "/usr/local/share/pybliographer/Pyblio/GnomeUI/Index.py", line 29, in ? File "/usr/local/share/pybliographer/Pyblio/GnomeUI/Utils.py", line 57, in ? File "/usr/local/share/pybliographer/Pyblio/Config.py", line 159, in get File "/usr/local/share/pybliographer/Pyblio/Config.py", line 122, in __getitem__ KeyError: gnome/tooltips I'd be interested to know if anyone else gets this, in case my gnome installation is at fault.
After installing a gtk2 version of gnome-python, pybliographic stopped working. It would say this: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/pybliographer/pybliographic.py", line 26, in ? from Pyblio.GnomeUI.Pybliographic import Pybliographic File "/usr/share/pybliographer/Pyblio/GnomeUI/Pybliographic.py", line 28, in ? from Pyblio.GnomeUI import Document File "/usr/share/pybliographer/Pyblio/GnomeUI/Document.py", line 26, in ? from gnome import config ImportError: cannot import name config It turns out that the gnome2 and gnome1 python bindings share the same namespace (i.e., gnome), and the gnome2 ones are taking precedence. The solution is at http://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2003/debian-python-200308/msg00053.html I will attach a new patch and ebuild to deal with this bug. I think the pybliographic people are working on a Gnome2 compatible release, which will hopefully solve all the problems we have here and give us something which will fit into portage without any hackery.
Created attachment 17208 [details, diff] patch to have pybliographer use gnome/gtk 1.2
Created attachment 17209 [details, diff] ebuild which uses recode patch and gtk-1.2 patch
Created attachment 26576 [details] ebuild for pybliographer-1.2.2 (app-misc/pybliographer/pybliographer-1.2.2.ebuild) I can't beleive I spent time writing this ebuild when there is already one for it here. I did do a search before writing it but I didn't find any thing for pybliographer. I guess I should have learnt to use bugizilla before making my first ebuild. Should I throw my ebuild in the garbage bin or should I post it? I decided to post it only because it is for the latest stable version of pybliographer. To use it, copy it in your $PORTDIR_OVERLAY/app-misc/pybliographer/pybliographer-1.2.2.ebuild You also need the dependency ebuild $PORTDIR_OVERLAY/dev-python/python-bibtex/python-bibtex-1.1.93.1.ebuild
Created attachment 26577 [details] dependency ebuild for pybliographer-1.2.2 (pyphon bibtext support) This ebuild provides bibtext support for python. The pybliographer-1.2.2.ebuild needs it.
Created attachment 26585 [details] tar ball of pybliographer-1.2.2 and dependency ebuild This is the tar ball for the pybliographer-1.2.2 and its dependency ebuild. To use just untar in your $PORTDIR_OVERLAY. Eg. # cd $PORTDIR_OVERLAY # tar -xvjf portage.tar.bz2
Created attachment 29310 [details] portage ebuilds for pybliographer-1.2.3 and python-bibtex-1.1.93.1 Just an update to the 1.2.3 version.
reassigning because i'm neglecting this onem hopefully more eyes on this might mean it wil lget added quicker. plus python-bibtex should probably be submitted as a seperate bug and assigned to python herd.
A new version is available since 2004-07-18. Would it be possible to have a new ebuild with : - an icon for the `task bar' (why not the same as the one in the menu) - when relaunch, open the previously open bibliography - save its configuration when logout (reopen automatically when re-login) and add it to portage?

Sorry for the delay. I added app-office/pybliographer-1.2.4 and dev-python/python-bibtex-1.2.1. Basically I took your ebuilds, but made several modifications. 1. Changed Gentoo Technologies, Inc. to Gentoo Foundation in the ebuild header. See /usr/portage/skel.ebuild for the latest header you should use. 2. Removed comments. It is a good habit to make your own ebuild from /usr/portage/skel.ebuild, but remember to delete comment lines from skel.ebuild before you submit it. Commens to help other developers and users are welcomed, but comments from skel.ebuild aren't needed. 3. python-bibtex could use distutils.eclass. I removed src_compile() and src_install() from python-bibtex ebuild you submitted earlier. See man distutils.eclass (and /usr/portage/eclass/distutils.eclass) for detail. 4. I removed pkg_preinst() from pybliographer ebuild because it seems it is not needed (compile succeeded without setting X. Probablly configure script had been changed?). Also, if you want to let users know something before configure, you should use pkg_setup() instead of pkg_preinst(). pkg_preinst() is executed *after* src_compile() (and before src_install()) while pkg_setup() is called before src_compile(). See man 5 ebuild for detail. Thanks for your contribution.
Thanks for the fixes, Mamoru. Just a quick note that I merely modified the existing ebuilds from Jean-Luc to work with the latest versions. My apologies for not cleaning up the ebuilds before submitting, I will be more careful in the future.
Hi, There seems to be a problem with this ebuild. When emerging, I got: scrollkeeper-update -p /var/lib/scrollkeeper -o /var/tmp/portage/pybliographer-1.2.4/image//usr/share/omf/pybliographer ACCESS DENIED open_wr: /var/lib/scrollkeeper/scrollkeeper_docs ACCESS DENIED open_wr: /var/lib/scrollkeeper/scrollkeeper_docs /var/lib/scrollkeeper/scrollkeeper_docs: Permission denied make[4]: [install-data-hook-omf] Error 1 (ignored) (skip...) --------------------------- ACCESS VIOLATION SUMMARY --------------------------- LOG FILE = "/tmp/sandbox-app-office_-_pybliographer-1.2.4-26300.log" open_wr: /var/lib/scrollkeeper/scrollkeeper_docs open_wr: /var/lib/scrollkeeper/scrollkeeper_docs After googling, a solution to a very similar error seems to be explained in: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=18773 Is this a bug and if yes, could the ebuild be corrected? Regards, Ben
Thanks for the bug report. Fixed in CVS.
Created attachment 46131 [details] ebuid for pybliographer 1.2.5 app-office/pybliographer-1.2.5 ebuild. I installed it on amd64, should I open a new bug for that ?
Created attachment 46133 [details] patch for configure app-office/pybliographer/files/pybliographer-1.2.5-gentoo.diff file to patch configure.
