Bug 10390 – snns-4.2.ebuild (New Package)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Patrick Kursawe (RETIRED) 2002-11-07 12:19:11 UTC]

Hi!

Attached should be:
- an ebuild for snns-4.2
- a patch to fix known bugs
- the license file

SNNS is a program for creating and training artificial neural networks. The
homepage is http://www-ra.informatik.uni-tuebingen.de/SNNS/

I suggest app-sci/snns as the category.

The extracted Readme.license from the tarball

It is an open source style license, you are just not allowed to distribute
modified sources - you should supply patches. Commercial users need a special
license.

The ebuild, but now containing the docs...

The manual in PDF format is a seperate archive, forgot that at first. Please
take this one, since I am not authorized to use the "Obsoletes:" function.

- you checked for USE doc but did not set IUSE
- you removed the USE X checks which were admittedly broken as far as I can see
- unpacking the pdf file (unpack ${A}) does not work, says: !!! unpack
SNNSv4.2.Manual.pdf: file format not recognized
- attached my next try, optional X support should be correct now? The makefiles
are quite broken, the --without-x did not stop the compilation of xgui, so I
tried a workaround

Next try - fixed optional X and IUSE

try this on for size

[Comment 9 Patrick Kursawe (RETIRED) 2002-11-11 04:15:43 UTC]

Uh, this was definitely no good idea...

1. default.cfg.gz  help.hdoc.gz  SNNSv4.2.Manual.pdf.gz are installed into
/usr/share/doc/snns-4.2-r1 while the examples are installed into
/usr/share/doc/snns-4.2/examples
2. help.hdoc and default.cfg.gz are used by the program. They are not very
useful if they can't be accessed because they are gzip-ed.

Suggestion:
- use doins for default.cfg and help.hdoc again
- use ${PF} instead of ${P} in src_install

What do you think?

Patrick
