• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Ákos Maróy 2004-05-21 14:32:51 UTC]

after emerging bbgallery, the emerge tool does not install the templates for bbgallery:

whereas the original bbgallery-1.2.0.tar.bz2 containes a template directory, that should be installed under /usr/lib/bbgallery/template, according to the bbgallery documentation: http://bbgallery.sourceforge.net/templates.html

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. install bbgallery
2. try to refer to one of the stock templates, e.g. bbgallery -T oldstyle
3. see the error report

Actual Results:  
$ bbgallery -T oldstyle
ERROR: Templates not found: oldstyle


Expected Results:  
bbgallery should use the specified (stock) template

bbgallery-1.2.0.ebuild.patch

This patch installs the included bbgallery templates into /usr/lib/bbgallery,
as required by the program.

[Comment 2 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2005-08-11 07:31:55 UTC]

Re-assign a stale bug. 

[Comment 3 MAL 2005-09-26 03:18:54 UTC]

I'm still seeing this.

[Comment 4 Heinrich Nirschl 2005-10-25 09:12:09 UTC]

The version 1.2.0-r1 has the same problem.

[Comment 5 pavel sanda 2006-03-08 14:50:33 UTC]

patch  #1 for 1.2.0 is not enough, because link to default template is needed.
i.e. after cp -a.. :
ln -s ${D}/usr/lib/bbgallery/template/monochrome ${D}/usr/lib/bbgallery/template/default

using 1.2.0-r1 has also problems. i had emerged gimp, but hadn't gimp-perl and 
ebuild didnt catch that dependency, so i had to emerge it manually.

last but not least. when i emerged all the parts and run in one sample directory
with jpg's it crashed with he following message:
gimp_scale.pl: protocol error (1) at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7/i686-linux/Gimp/Net.pm line 67. (ERROR)

Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/bin/bbgallery line 222.

i have tried to install it manually from tarball, but it didnt helped so 
this bug is probably not caused by wrong installation via ebuild.


however when using imagemagick instead of gimp, it works now after the link mentioned above.
(i'm working on x86 platform)

[Comment 6 Harry Putnam 2006-06-10 09:53:09 UTC]

As of 06/10/06 the missing template bug is still present.
Should this package on portage for install with such a known
major bug?

[Comment 7 pavel sanda 2006-06-10 11:09:06 UTC]

harry, if i make patch and new ebuild will you test it ?

[Comment 8 pavel sanda 2006-06-10 11:55:44 UTC]

i made new ebuild and trivial patch, so that bbgallery will use imagemagick by default  - instead of gimp which no longer works with bbgalery.

can anybody test it ?

patch for bbgallery-1.2.0

patch has to be placed into "files" directory of ebuild.

[Comment 11 Alec Warner (RETIRED) 2006-08-04 14:27:49 UTC]

I'm glad that there are a bunch of people interested in keeping this ebuild alive, but there hasn't been an interested developer in some time; I'd like to ask that you put the ebuild into sunrise instead so that it stays available to users.

However due to the lack of developer interest (bug open for 2+ years with no commits) I will schedule this for removal.

i dont understand this sentence. i made .r2 ebuild which, at least on my box, 
works.

it is more simple to go through the removal procedure, than to comit those two 
files into the tree ?

Yeah, because there is no developer to oversee the package, thats why this bug has sat open for two years.  No I will not just commit stuff and call it *fixed* because the real problem is there is no developer to care for this package.

Punted as of now!

[Comment 16 pavel sanda 2007-02-10 15:03:44 UTC]

improved ebuild committed to sunrise overlay.
