Bug 27940 – xchm-0.7.1.ebuild (New Package) chmlib-0.31.ebuild (New Package)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Kevin Carlson 2003-09-04 10:29:34 UTC]

Hello.

Please find attached two new ebuilds for xchm and it's depedency chmlib.  This
is my first attempt at ebuilding, so lets hope....

xchm is a viewer for Microsoft's CHM format help files, which I find useful. 
(Found at http://xchm.sourceforge.net/#Downloads )

Both packages are licensed under the GPL, but I did not consult the developers
of xchm or chmlib to determine if the creation of this ebuild is suitable. 
Please let me know if I should request their permission, otherwise I was
planning on sending an email out of courtesy should this ebuild process be fruitful.

I have categorised these packages under app-misc/ although there may be a more
appropriate location to put them in.
I 
Other things of note:  
1.  The ebuilds currently have SRC_URI set to a mirror in Minnesota.  I do not
currently know the best way to handle or code sourceforge mirrors into an
ebuild.  Advise or leave as it.  
2.  I've bundled the xchm html documentation that came in a separate tarball. 
It also includes reference manuals that can be included providing latex is
installed, which would make it necessary to add this to a new ebuild.  Do you
think this is necessary?

Thanks again.

xchm ebuild files

tbz2 file containing ebuild, manifest, metadata, etc.  Too much?

ebuild for xchm.  Allows viewing of .CHM files.

I had created a Changelog, Manifest, and metadata.xml file as well.  Am I to
include these as well?

Ignore.  
I should not have tried to attach a tbz2 file anyway.

Ignore.  
Another tbz2 file.

Dupes here because an error was continually reported after hitting the 'Submit'
button.

Forgot the license files in the build, changed src_uri to something saner.
It all works though :-)

xchm-0.8 was released on September 03, 2003. The above ebuild should work as well, and I have created a tar.bz2 with ebuilds for xchm and chmlib. It can be found at http://placebo.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/~trieloff/xchm-0.8.tar.bz2
