Hi, Here's an ebuild for CheeseTracker 0.8.0. There are, however, problems ... First, the ebuild depends on scons-0.14. Someone has submitted an ebuild for this, but is not in the portage tree yet. See the 'bug depends on' field. Secondly, there are sandbox problems, reproducible always as follows: 1. emerge scons 2. emerge cheesetracker SCons is Python-based, and it seems that it tries to recompile itself the first time it is used after installation. It tries to write to many .pyc files in /usr/lib/scons/SCons, and this fails unless it has root access. This only happens the first time SCons is used (and succeeds); the following sequence does not generate any errors: 1. emerge scons 2. FEATURES=-sandbox emerge cheesetracker 3. emerge cheesetracker My system has python-2.2.3 on it. I have no idea how this should be fixed, but then I know very little about Python or SCons. We may need to contact the SCons developers for advice.
Created attachment 14233 [details] The ebuild
Ugh. Sorry about the evil word wrapping. I got an error when submitting the ebuild too (although it worked). That's the last time I use Konqueror for anything important ...
Hi, I'm the SCons project leader, and got notification of this bug because I also submitted the depends-on bug about upgrading SCons. Creating the .pyo files should ideally be done as part of the installation. My guess is it should then be something in the .ebuild itself, but this is all new to me. The .ebuild file I submitted in the depends-on bug for SCons 0.14 is essentially cut-and-paste from the .ebuild file I already found in gentoo for SCons 0.07. If someone can point me to other examples I can look at of Python apps that create their .pyo files as part of the installation, I'll gladly update and re-submit.
As far as I could tell at the time, SCons was trying to replace existing .pyc files with new ones, presumably derived from the .py files in the same place. The .py and .pyc had identical (or very close) modification times on them. Presumably either Python or SCons determined that the .pyc files MIGHT be out of date, and wanted to update them. No .pyo files existed before or afterwards; only .py and .pyc files.

Works fine for 0.9.0 (just released today) as well!
Good for 0.9.1 as well.
I'll take a look at this... Would you be able to create a patch so FEATURES=-sandbox is not needed?
Disabling sandbox shouldn't be neccesary anymore as I fixed dev-util/scons yesterday - see bug 42660.
in portage.
