Bug 20884 – mldonkey-2.5.0.ebuild (Update)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Gregorio Guidi (RETIRED) 2003-05-12 18:27:27 UTC]

Here I provide a tarball with an ebuild for mldonkey-2.4.0 along with ChangeLog and 
an extra file (a wrapper) 
 
Main changes I made: 
- changed HOMEPAGE 
- depended on lablgtk-1.2.4 instead of 1.2.3 
- update list of binaries installed 
- update list of docs installed 
- most important: the `mldonkey' executable is no longer present, so I created a 
`mldonkey' script that runs the server (now called `mlnet') inside a default dir 
(~/.mldonkey). Normally, running the server from a random dir results in cluttering that 
dir with files, as pointed out in the einfos in the old ebuild. 
- new einfos as well 
 
I did this work indipendently from bug #18934, didn't notice before, surely their 
approach would be fine, too. 
 
Bye.

Quick fix: 
in files/mldonkey, substitute  
 
cd ${HOME}/.mldonkey && mlnet 
 
with 
 
cd ${HOME}/.mldonkey && /usr/bin/mlnet 
 
otherwise wrong default configuration will be created.

Recently caleb submitted an ebuild for 2.5 that is broken (the list of binaries to install, and also 
the docs, are wrong), so I put the enphasis on this bug by reposting the ebuild and the wrapper 
as simple text (thanx to all devs that pointed out that tarballs are not appreciated).

Thanks for the fix - I was informed in Friday that there were problem with the ebuild, but I 
had a power outage and it took me a while to get things back together.  I have commited 
this as 2.5-r1.

Thanks a lot for the commit (and for all the work with gentoo, I noticed you're 
one of the more active devs on bugzilla and on cvs changelogs lately!) 
 
If you mind, another quick enhancement in the wrapper: 
 
cd ${HOME}/.mldonkey && exec /usr/bin/mlnet 
 
is better than 
 
cd ${HOME}/.mldonkey && /usr/bin/mlnet 
 
(e.g. to control the deamon with Ctrl-Z Ctrl-C from the console).
