CCXStream is an Xstream media server, useful for xbox's running Media Player. It allows you to stream video from your PC over to your XBOX using the built in ethernet. Can we add this to portage? It is a very simple useful package. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Created attachment 22699 [details] Ebuild for ccxstream-1.0.15 untar into /usr/local/portage, turn on PORTDIR_OVERLAY in make.conf, and emerge to your heart's content. NOTE: There is a patch include which turns -ltermcap into -lncurses, necessary to avoid compilation failure NOTE: There is no init.d script, you will have to add ccxstream to /etc/conf.d/local.{start|stop}
Created attachment 23021 [details] Ebuild for ccxstream-1.0.15 including init scripts Added init scripts to Mark Dierolf's ebuild
someone mentioned that this was a dead package ... is this still actively maintained or is there a 'better' package that should get added in its place ?
There hasn't been any production on CCXStream since 17/03-2003. Though it is a good package, development has been stopped AFAIK. The CCXStream dev is unreachable. I vote for pushing this in to ~ARCH, it's useful, though don't expect any updates. The only alternative is XBMS (00.30.6.2 - 4/10-2003), which a bit newer but production seems to be just as stagnant.
I agree that this should be in portage in some fashion. While it may no longer be developed, it's still the most elegent solution for streaming media to an xbox (along with xbms).
Added and closing bug. Thanks for the ebuild. Feedback: Don't use two tabs to indent ebuild commands, one is enough. Don't attach archives to submissions. Use individual files.
Trying to emerge ccxstream I go the following output: Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) net-fs/ccxstream-1.0.15 to / >>> md5 src_uri ;-) ccxstream-1.0.15.tar.gz >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking ccxstream-1.0.15.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/ccxstream-1.0.15/work >>> Source unpacked. /usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: line 15: epatch: command not found gcc -march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe -I. -g -c -o ccxstream.o ccxstream.c gcc -march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe -I. -g -c -o ccxfile.o ccxfile.c gcc -march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe -I. -g -c -o ccutil.o ccutil.c gcc -march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe -I. -g -c -o ccbuffer.o ccbuffer.c gcc -march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe -I. -g -c -o ccdebug.o ccdebug.c gcc -march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe -I. -g -c -o ccxmltrans.o ccxmltrans.c gcc -march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe -I. -g -c -o ccxencode.o ccxencode.c gcc -march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe -I. -g -c -o ccxtest.o ccxtest.c gcc -march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe -I. -g -c -o ccxclient.o ccxclient.c gcc -march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe -I. -g -c -o ccxclientconn.o ccxclientconn.c gcc -march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe -I. -g -c -o ccxdiscover.o ccxdiscover.c gcc -lreadline -ltermcap ccxtest.o ccxclient.o ccxclientconn.o ccutil.o ccbuffer.o ccdebug.o ccxmltrans.o ccxencode.o ccxdiscover.o -o ccxtest /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.3/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -ltermcap collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [ccxtest] Error 1 make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... !!! ERROR: net-fs/ccxstream-1.0.15 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 16, Exitcode 2 !!! (no error message) A quick search on the forums for "epatch: command not found" returned that the build needed: inherit eutils After I made the edit, the ebuild worked fine.
thanks for the fix, commited
