I have installed DTC by hand and worked with the developer of the programme to build a gentoo installation script. I am now trying to build an ebuild for this application. I am no experience with making an ebuild so this is likely to take a while to get right. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. You need to check out the cvs version of DTC as this is where the gentoo specific changes are. Do the following cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@gplhost.com:/var/lib/cvs login # (password is anoncvs) cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@gplhost.com:/var/lib/cvs checkout dtc 2. Once the checkout is finished go to the the directort dtc/bin and run makeGentoo. This will create a gentoo tarball for you 3. Make a directory like so /usr/local/portage/www-apps/dtc and /usr/local/portage/www-apps/dtc/files 4. Copy the tarball into /usr/local/portage/www-apps/dtc/files. (it shouldnt be copied here but rather downloaded by the ebuild but I am not sure how to do this.) 5. copy the ebuild script to /usr/local/portage/www-apps/dtc 6. run emerge dtc Expected Results: The package should emerge. I still need to test it properly as I am having some problems on my current gentoo machine

1/ There are tarballs and CVS snapshots for this app, please use them in the ebuild. See ftp://ftp.gplhost.com/pub/dtc/ and fix the empty SRC_URI. We try to avoid live CVS ebuilds as much as possible. 2/ This looks like a webapp, so should use webapp eclass. 3/ Any keywords missing. :=) Put ~x86 or other arch which you are testing this on there. 4/ IUSE has apache2 and php in there, but it's unused anywhere else. See other ebuilds in portage how to handle apache-1 vs. apache-2 dependencies; php should be removed from IUSE, it's most probably not optional dependency and does not do anything useful in the ebuild. 5/ The ebuild depends on dev-php/mod_php, this is wrong. It needs to depend on virtual/httpd-php. 6/ Generally check DEPEND vs. RDEPEND and fix as needed. 7/ src_install() is plain wrong, if it depends on some perl module, it needs to depend on an ebuild. If it's not in portage, you need to create an ebuild for that perl module as well. 8/ As for the rest, the needs to be adopted to webapp eclass, as already said above. etc. etc. Some docs which could help you: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml?part=2&chap=3 http://dev.gentoo.org/~plasmaroo/devmanual/ Meanwhile, closing WONTFIX. Please reopen after you submit an improved ebuild. Thanks.
