Attached is my first attempt at an ebuild for Xfractint (http://www.fractint.org). It's a very cool fractal generator. I'm having only one problem, the FRACTDIR variable needs to be exported and set to /usr/local/xfractint for the program to run correctly (in /etc/exports or exports.env?) If someone could help with that part, I'd be ready to go. I think it should go in apps-misc/xfractint J.
Created attachment 2366 [details] ebuild file for xfractint-20.2.04
Created attachment 2391 [details] updated Ebuild file for xfractint-20.2.04 Please use this ebuild instead of the previous one.
Created attachment 2392 [details] File for /etc/env.d to update FRACTDIR environment variable This file must be in the "files" directory and is then copied to /etc/env.d/60xfractint in the ebuild script.
I do not like that /usr/local needs to be used. If you can get it to use /usr/share/fractdir or something, that would be better.
Seemant, The new ebuild I uploaded (http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=2391&action=edit ) does not use /usr/local. It installs to /usr/share/xfractint.
Created attachment 2401 [details] UPDATED ebuild for xfractint Changed the license info to freeware.
Seemant, Just updated the ebuild again, check this one : 07/19/02 16:30 http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=2401&action=view
Commited, but masked for now. I'll unmask it when its been tested.
I noticed xfract20.2.04.zip was copied to http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo/distfiles/ . At what stage do you guys change the ebuild so it starts pulling from there? Or is that my responsibility?
The files in SRC_URI are automatically mirrored, it happens automatically. When emerge:ing a packet it first checks the mirrors in your make.conf and if it can't pull the source from the mirrors it will download it from SRC_URI.
