Biopython is actively and quickly being developed and I sometimes need the trunk. I hacked an ebuild which works for me. However, somehow the distutils portage stuff adds "-2.6" to the "${S}" string because I have python 2.6. If somebody could fix the ugly hack it would be great and could be committed into the tree. Thanks! ;-)
Created attachment 223177 [details] biopython-9999.ebuild This is based on biopython-1.53.ebuild
You don't need explicit src_unpack(). Inheriting of git eclass as the last eclass causes that git_src_prepare() overrides distutils_src_prepare() as implementation of src_prepare(), so you should define explicit src_prepare(): src_prepare() { git_src_prepare distutils_src_prepare }
Thanks, that works: >>> Emerging (1 of 1) sci-biology/biopython-9999 * checking ebuild checksums ;-) ... [ ok ] * checking auxfile checksums ;-) ... [ ok ] * checking miscfile checksums ;-) ...

Perhaps something for the overlay
Martin, perhaps you should get access to the overlay, so that you can place your contributions there.
