Created attachment 22523 [details] ruby-gettext-0.5.3.ebuild The SRC_URI for this package makes for some problems. Look at the commented URL and you will know what I mean. Distrubiting the source with the Gentoo mirrors is one solution. The new ebuild does that.
Thanks for contributing the ebuild. I didn't test it since I couldn't fetch source tarball from the SRC_URI. However, I skimmed it and found several minor things to fix. * Will you agree to remove your name at the top of the ebuild? We usually ask everyone to assign its copyright to Gentoo Technolgies, Inc. It isn't compulsory but we would appreciate if you do so. * The homepage says it could work not only with ruby 1.8 but also with 1.6. If you have some time, it would be nice to test it and change >=dev-lang/ruby-1.8.0 to >=dev-lang/ruby-1.6.8. Otherwise ruby 1.6 users won't have the benefit of your ebuild ;-) * (along with the point above) racc is included into ruby 1.8, so if you force the dependencies to ruby 1.8, dev-ruby/racc isn't needed. If you are going to add dev-lang/ruby-1.6*, it will be required. (You may write something like DEPEND="|| ( >=dev-lang/ruby-1.8.0 ( =dev-lang/ruby-1.6* dev-ruby/racc ) )" to express it) * If the source has additional documents, you might want to add them using dodoc (If there isn't any, it's okay. I'm asking it simply because I don't have the source tarball). If you rewrite the ebuild regarding my comments, please reattach it here.
Please see http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.devel/11417/ for the copyright. Even though ruby 1.8 includes racc ruby-gettext seems to need the seperate racc package since it check for the /usr/bin/racc executable which isn't distributed with ruby 1.8. So I made it simply depend on dev-lang/ruby and dev-ruby/racc. About the docs: there are some, but only in rd and some samples to. No idea if this is so usefull, although documentation would be nice. But also dodoc only handles files and not directories so I dont see an easy way to add the docs/ and samples/ dirs to the ebuild, do you?
Created attachment 22584 [details] ruby-gettext-0.5.3.ebuild changed DEPEND and added dodoc README etc
drobbins said so in the mail you pointed out but AFAIK the whole thread didn't reach a certain conclusion (and he was the only one saying so). Some devs are talking to a laywer about the copyright issue, but I don't know what the outcome is. I see why you put racc on DEPEND. When I can download the source tarball I'll check them. As for documents dodoc isn't capable of doing "-r" while dohtml supports useful flags like that, and I'm waiting for Portage to include Bug #15193. For the time being, you may `inherit ruby` and use erubydoc instead. (It doesn't take any arguments but catches almost all docs and examples in addition to rd)
Created attachment 24068 [details] ruby-gettext-0.5.3.ebuild Alright I corrected the copyright and use erubydoc now. erubydoc doesn't do a very good job though.. the html/ dir is empty except for a .css file and there also files like install.rb etc. which get gzipped and installed. Wouldn't a 'dodoc C* R*' be better?
Yesterday I was able to download the source and tried you ebuild. You are right about adding racc as its dependencies. I added racc back to the ebuild and committed to Portage. Though erubydoc doesn't do much (I want to rewrite it anyhow), you should have run `ruby makehtml.rb` inside docs directory to create html files. In order to do so, you will be required rd2 from dev-ruby/rdtools, so I added it to DEPEND, too. As for html directory, I modified ruby.eclass a little to fix the problem. Thanks again for your time and effort.
