Bug 273679 – net-misc/connman-0.19 - The core Connection Manager daemon (connmand) and various plug-ins

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Tiago Falcão 2009-06-11 04:41:06 UTC]

This is my first Ebuild.
Connman is connection manager developped for Moblin2. Very fast!
Please, can anyone review it? And include in portage?

Reproducible: Always

This DESCRIPTION is too long:

   The core Connection Manager daemon (connmand) and plug-ins
   for Ethernet, WiFi, Bluetooth, DHCP (udhcpc and dhclient),
   resolvconf, DNS proxy, and PolicyKit

The first line should do.

connman-0.19.ebuild

Rewritten (and improved) ebuild.

Support for all those mobile devices and other strange things (ofono, novatel, huawei, hso, iospm, iwmxsdk) is disabled because I don't have the hardware and I don't know how they're supposed to work. It can be added later, when someone actually asks for it.
Tools are always disabled, too, since the only tool I could find in the tarball is an empty(!) C program.

The CLI client (cm) is basically useless for now, but I hope it'll improve over time.
Loopback, ethernet and udev plugins are always enabled, for obvious reasons.
I've also chosen to use dhclient over udhcp, because we don't have udhcp in Gentoo afaics.

init script for connman

Ah... all those .la files could probably be deleted.

You should think about adding the ebuild to the Sunrise Overlay: http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/sunrise

[Comment 7 Robert Piasek (RETIRED) 2009-07-21 18:23:57 UTC]

I'm already working on connman and ofono, Hopefully they should be added to portage soon.

[Comment 8 Robert Piasek (RETIRED) 2009-08-13 16:38:58 UTC]

I've added connman and ofono to my overlay (layman -a dagger).

Not all dependencies are there yet (modemmanager), but I'll update it shortly.

I will also add commman-gnome soonish

Added to the tree.
