Bug 228501 – [patch] let user overwrite EGIT_REPO_URI in x-modular.eclass

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Markus Rothe (RETIRED) 2008-06-20 11:19:11 UTC]

while writing an ebuild for the git version of xcb-proto I ran into the problem that xcb is not hosted in /git/xorg/, but in /git/xcb/ on anongit.freedesktop.org. Using this path is not possible with current x-modular.eclass.

The attached patch changes x-modular.eclass so the user can define the EGIT_REPO_URI. I'll also attach a sample ebuild for xcb-proto using this feature.

Look at http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/x11.git;a=blob;f=x11-proto/xcb-proto/xcb-proto-9999.ebuild;h=7063e9d7a964b90ba233681e5d2d12092496a374;hb=HEAD -- it works if you do the inherit on the other side of the variable setting. Does this still provide any value, now that you know that?
