I'm using gentoo for a big part of NetworkManager development and I benefit from using a live e-build based on a branch in the official NetworkManager repository. Other developers might benefit from having this available and it will be useful for new networkmanager releases, as there have been quite substantial changes. Cheers, Pavel

i think it would be nice to change udev to virtual/udev since some people use eudev

What a stupid idea to use subdomains for bug attachements. That must be something new, I don't want to store certificate exceptions for every bug :).
(In reply to comment #5) > Created attachment 334864 [details] > changed it a bit to make in nicer Looks good but: 1) It doesn't work for me (inherit gnome2-live failed, then some syntax error or something, can give more details). 2) We will no longer support --with-libnl choice as only libnl 3.x is now supported. But this will probably be applied after the upcoming release. You asked on IRC for the tarball: 'make dist' is enough
Created attachment 335858 [details] the new ebuild
and sory for not replying sooner
(In reply to comment #9) > and sory for not replying sooner No problem, it now works for me. The new ebuild installs the initscript as NetworkManager instead of networkmanager, which is an unwanted change, AFAIK. While the binary is still called NetworkManager, the initscript has been historically networkmanager in Gentoo and some other systems. I tend to believe that changes are better for upstream to change everything to lowercase than for Gentoo to change initscript to first caps.
(In reply to comment #10) Current networkmanager ebuilds in portage install the init script as /etc/init.d/NetworkManager. And it's for a specific reason: "N" < "d" in ASCII, so openrc will by default choose /etc/init.d/NetworkManager, not /etc/init.d/dhcpcd, as the net provider service.

Ah, that looks like an ugly workaround. A very ugly one. Thanks for clarification. I thought we might use Gentoo as a flagship for renaming NetworkManager to networkmanager.
I think the correct way (from the user perspective) would be to just disable dhcpcd. Or even uninstall, as it is not the preferred DHCP implementation for NetworkManager either and NM doesn't work 100% with it AFAIK. Of course dhclient initscript must still be disabled as it is used as a DHCP client, not a network daemon.
modemmanager-0.7.990 and -9999, and networkmanager-0.9.7.995 and -9999 are now in portage. Sorry for the wait; I wanted to do this properly, e.g. with a working dispatcher patch for suspending laptops that are running openrc. +*modemmanager-9999 (28 Jan 2013) +*modemmanager-0.7.990 (28 Jan 2013) + + 28 Jan 2013; Alexandre Rostovtsev <tetromino@gentoo.org> + +modemmanager-0.7.990.ebuild, +modemmanager-9999.ebuild, metadata.xml: + Add 0.8 development pre-release and a live git ebuild. 0.8 features improved + hardware support, and has a new dbus API which is incompatible with older + ModemManager releases. +*networkmanager-9999 (28 Jan 2013) +*networkmanager-0.9.7.995 (28 Jan 2013) + + 28 Jan 2013; Alexandre Rostovtsev <tetromino@gentoo.org> + +networkmanager-0.9.7.995.ebuild, + +files/networkmanager-0.9.7.995-pre-sleep.patch, +networkmanager-9999.ebuild, + +files/init.d.NetworkManager: + Add 0.9.8 development pre-release and a live git ebuild (bug #444814, thanks + to Pavel Šimerda and Sobhan Mohammadpour).

Btw, there still is: ewarn "Was unable to determine your kernel .config" ewarn "Please note that if CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 is set in your kernel .config, NetworkManager will not work correctly." ewarn "See http://bugs.gentoo.org/333639 for more info." Shouldn't this be moved to udev, as NetworkManager just uses udev and doesn't itself need disabled CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 as far as i know. If it did, we would be happy to fix it.
