Description Maik Nijhuis 2005-01-12 10:53:17 UTC
To finish the kenosis installation, I (manually) had to go to the /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/bt and execute 'python setup.py install'. Could you add this to the ebuild?

Or is this already done? In that case: 'equery files kenosis' doesn't show the bittorrent executables in /usr/bin.

Either way, a full installation of kenosis (including installation of executables in /usr/bin) conflicts with an existing bittorrent installation. Could you fix this?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge bittorrent
2.emerge kenosis (with ~x86 enabled for this package)
3.cd /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/bt
4.python setup.py install

Actual Results:  
bittorrent executables were overwritten

Expected Results:  
install kenosis-bittorrent executables under a different name / prevent kenosis
being installed if bittorrent is already installed and vice versa

I had purposely left the files in the python site-packages directory because I wasn't sure if the client was 100% backwards compatible (the documentation is lacking) with bittorrent, but it seems to work fine. I've made kenosis provide virtual/bittorrent and it now installs in /usr/bin/ also.

Thanks, Maik.
