Bug 341659 – android-notifier-desktop: suggested new ebuild

• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Stefan G. Weichinger 2010-10-18 16:58:16 UTC]

Wrote a draft for an ebuild installing the software from

http://code.google.com/p/android-notifier-desktop/

Reproducible: Always




It works but I am sure that there are some things missing (DEPEND ...) and/or wrong. Pls advise how to improve it.

Hello, The Gentoo Team would like to firstly thank you for your ebuild 
submission. We also apologize for not being able to accommodate you in a timely
manner. There are simply too many new packages.

Allow me to use this opportunity to introduce you to Gentoo Sunrise. The 
sunrise overlay[1] is a overlay for Gentoo which we allow trusted users to 
commit to and all users can have ebuilds reviewed by Gentoo devs for entry 
into the overlay. So, the sunrise team is suggesting that you look into this 
and submit your ebuild to the overlay where even *you* can commit to. =)

Thanks,
On behalf of the Gentoo Sunrise Team,
Justin.

I will look into this, thanks.

For now let me add my updated ebuild, just for the records and others to find it.

renamed and updated ebuild

Renamed it to /usr/local/portage/dev-util/android-notifier-desktop/android-notifier-desktop-0.5.1.ebuild ... and did some improvements as suggested by [e-mail] on the gentoo-users-ml.

[Comment 7 Neil Bothwick 2010-10-19 09:33:45 UTC]

The starter script didn't work here. First it failed with

/usr/bin/android-notifier: line 2: cd: android-notifier-desktop: No such file or directory

Changing line 2 to 

cd "/usr/share/android-notifier-desktop"

fixed that but then it failed with 

/usr/bin/android-notifier: line 10: /usr/share/android-notifier-desktop/run.sh: Permission denied

which was fixed with

chmod +x /usr/share/android-notifier-desktop/run.sh

The ebuild needs to take care of these steps.

Thanks for testing. Was offline for a few days (internet provider problem), will take care of this soon. I remember editing that file now ...

Thanks for taking over.
Works OK here.

By the way, the project appears to have moved to http://code.google.com/p/android-notifier/ (sans -desktop)

[Comment 12 n4cer 2015-05-18 05:54:03 UTC]

The project seems to be dead. There is no activity since 2011.
