I think a Condor-ebuild would be a nice addition to gentoo. I guess it would require fetch-restrictions, but it would be very useful for schools or universities, which usually set up their clusters/computer-pools with condor. I might try to write an ebuild, but so far I'm not experienced in doing so. Thus I'd like to see somebody with more skill to try this one. Condor can be found here: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/downloads/
Talk about a complicated ebuild... I tried to work on one... but I am not quite sure how it would be done... first of all it has an ugly distrobution scheme... meaning it would be a lot of footwork to get the files in the right place... and downloading the files is almost impossible via wget... because its done via a perl script that checks if you filled out license... unless someone knows where the files are directly?
For the disability of using wget, the ebuild could be flagged with fetch-restrictions like in the sun-java-sdk-ebuild. But your right, this IS a complicated ebuild as it features a quite unusual install-procedure as well.
so anyone is going to provide an ebuild for condor?
Reopen if you have an ebuild. Meanwhile, marking LATER.
Hi, I actually do need condor for work, so I started to work on a condor ebuild. Follow development on the science overlay. There are a few deps not in portage that I already included. There could be more, but I just don't know whether they are used. Any input, old ebuild, configure default options, or tips are welcome, since I don't know this software yet. I am sort of following the rpm in http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/devel/condor/ Thanks,
I am not sure how to prepare an ebuild for this, but following directions in README.building, I failed to configure: condor@bitcoin ~/condor/condor-7.4.4/src $ ./build_init Checking for version of autoheader >= 2.59...succeeded.

Is this package still of interest now that htcondor is current, and also part of the science overlay?
