Bug 48464 – ebuild for snd-7.1 is missing the documentation and all guile (scheme) and ruby support files.

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Michael E. Adams 2004-04-20 08:18:26 UTC]

snd is extensible and configurable using guile or ruby. Many support files are provided for these two languages in the author's/maintainer's .tar file. They were left out of the ebuild. The author/maintainer also has extensive html documentation that is usually included in other Linux distros. This is necessary additional documentation above that accessible through the "Help" menu.

Also, note that 7.3 is available. Could the ebuild's version be updated? 
Tar is available at: http://ccrma.stanford.edu/software/snd/





Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. After emerge, start snd.
2. Go to help menu and select any topic.
3. Select any "related topics" link and an error message occurrs indicating the file cannot be found.
4. Also, all support scheme and ruby files are missing. (e.g. rgb.scm and popup.scm).


Expected Results:  
Documentation should be available.
Must also have the additional guile (scheme) and ruby support files.

If you could provide a working ebuild for 7.3, that would really help out a bunch... otherwise I'll look into this next week.

squinky86: think youu can take care of this?

[Comment 3 Jon Hood (RETIRED) 2004-05-14 09:52:41 UTC]

snd keeps wanting to look at / for the path to the docs instead of /usr/share/doc; anyone know where that's set in the package, or will I get to look around in it this weekend? (waiting to commit version bump until we get this sorted out)

[Comment 4 Jon Hood (RETIRED) 2004-05-21 11:52:31 UTC]

7.4 is now in portage; the next version is _supposed_ to look in /usr/share/docs for the html help files, so that is resolved upstream, unless someone would like to make a patch for 7.4 which I'd be glad to commit?
