I just submitted a new version of the vmware ebuild... if the problem persists with the new version, post in this bug and I'll reopen it and try to figure it out...

[Comment 2 Maurice van der Pot (RETIRED) 2003-12-30 16:38:08 UTC]

The problem persists. And not only for vmmon.tar, but also for vmnet.tar (didn't mention that in my previous comment).

mv: overwrite `/var/tmp/portage/vmware-workstation-4.0.5.6030/work/vmware-distrib/lib/modules/source/vmmon.tar

[Comment 3 Maurice van der Pot (RETIRED) 2003-12-30 16:58:06 UTC]

Seems I was a bit hasty just now. Looking at the date of the ebuild it wasn't updated by emerge sync.

I now downloaded the updates from cvs through the web, but it's not ok yet.
The ebuild uses ${FILESDIR}/vmware-26kern-ksyms-gentoo.patch, but I think that file is really called vmware-26kern-init-gentoo.patch

[Comment 4 SpanKY 2003-12-30 20:02:54 UTC]

what if you remove the userpriv stuff from FEATURES

[Comment 5 Maurice van der Pot (RETIRED) 2003-12-31 03:59:24 UTC]

Currently the ebuild is too broken to try without userpriv.

Problem1:
!!! No message digest entry found for file "vmware-any-any-update45.tar.gz."

Problem2:
 * Cannot find $EPATCH_SOURCE!  Value for $EPATCH_SOURCE is:
 * 
 *   /usr/portage/app-emulation/vmware-workstation/files/vmware-26kern-ksyms-gentoo.patch

Problem3 (assuming problem2 is only the name of the patch):

This is part of the output of the patch when it fails:
===========================================

PATCH COMMAND:  patch -g0 -p0 < /usr/portage/app-emulation/vmware-workstation/files/vmware-26kern-init-gentoo.patch

===========================================
can't find file to patch at input line 3
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|--- installer/services.sh      2003-10-02 08:00:37.000000000 +0900
|+++ installer/services.sh      2003-12-20 01:12:19.835868864 +0900
--------------------------
No file to patch.  Skipping patch.
1 out of 1 hunk ignored
can't find file to patch at input line 20
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

The patch applies fine like this:
/var/tmp/portage/vmware-workstation-4.0.5.6030/work/vmware-distrib> patch -p0 < /usr/portage/app-emulation/vmware-workstation/files/vmware-26kern-init-gentoo.patch
patching file installer/services.sh

[Comment 6 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2003-12-31 05:38:32 UTC]

I originally was going to call the patch ksyms.  It was my fault that I missed the problem when I added it to CVS.

Anyway, it should be fixed now, as I made the mv command force overwrite and also fixed the patch filename in the ebuild.

[Comment 7 Maurice van der Pot (RETIRED) 2003-12-31 06:15:34 UTC]

Which leaves problem 3 from my last comment.

If I'm not mistaken, the diff was created from the wrong directory.

[Comment 8 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2003-12-31 06:32:04 UTC]

I'm checking it out now... just trying to figure out why it is working here and not for you.

[Comment 9 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2003-12-31 06:51:47 UTC]

Fixed in CVS

[Comment 10 Maurice van der Pot (RETIRED) 2003-12-31 07:11:03 UTC]

Ok, working like a charm now. Thanx!
