Please find attached mindi.tar.gz containing mindi-0.63.ebuild. Mindi builds boot/root disk images using your existing kernel, modules, tools and libraries. So long as your kernel is smaller than about 1.2MB, Mindi should be able to build a boot/root disk set from almost any Linux distribution you might be running. Even if the kernel is bigger than that, Mindi can still generate a bootable CD image for you. Mindi is needed by Mondo (a reliable backup tool). I hope I can contribute the Mondo ebuild soon I suggest sys-apps.
Created attachment 1970 [details] mindi-0.63 (New Package)
Created attachment 2008 [details] fixing previous packge - emerge works now the previous package didn't emerge. this one works now
Created attachment 2037 [details] inserted more dependencies I adopted now all dependencies from the rpm packages. in my eyes this is not needed, because mondo will look for the same packages aswell - but just to be correct :)
Created attachment 2118 [details] fixed install directory - gentoo goes by FHS, mindi does too :)
Created attachment 2200 [details] /root/mindi-0.63-r4.ebuild
Created attachment 2321 [details] mindi-0.65.ebuild this is the ebuild file for the new mindi version 0.65
Created attachment 2323 [details, diff] this fixes the known system stripping bug after mindi install cd /usr/share/mindi; patch -p0 < mindi.patch this will prevent your system to be stripped
Created attachment 2347 [details] this incorporates the mindi patch put mindi patch (previously submitted) into mindi/files dir and rename it from "mindi.patch" to "mindi-0.65.patch". emerge mindi and the patch will be applied automatically (this is really userfriendly :) thanks for the hint mark - i've totally forgotten that this is possible
Created attachment 2355 [details] mindi-0.65-r1.ebuild mkisofs seems to be obsolete. changed dependency to cdrtools this ebuild also needs mindi-0.65.patch
Created attachment 2356 [details, diff] mindi-0.65.patch mindi-0.65-r1.ebuild needs this to fix file system stripping bug in mindi
Created attachment 2359 [details, diff] mindi-0.65.patch - official patch please use this official patch released by hugo rabson. the patch submitted previously works aswell but was more a quick-and-dirty workaround by me.
1) Author field in ebuilds is deprecated, you will be credited in the changelog 2) Please use the portage application "repoman" to check this ebuild, you are missing several important fields (LICENSE, SLOT, KEYWORDS that I see at a glance) once it passes repoman, please feel free to re-attache a new copy and I'll be happy to incorporate, at that time, please re-open this bug.
well, repoman works just on cvs tree but as I don't have cvs access, I can't use it :) I used lintool instead and changed my ebuilds until it didn't report any errors anymore.
Created attachment 2373 [details] mindi-0.65-r1.ebuild - passed lintool
I'll add these in tomorrow... sleep time now. Thanks!
adding, thanks
