Description Christopher Verges 2002-11-16 15:28:59 UTC

Hey,

I wrapped the Squeak VM and Squeak 3.2-4956 image into two separate ebuilds. 
Squeak is a unique language in that it comes as four parts:

  (1) Virtual Machine
  (2) Sources File
  (3) Changes File
  (4) Image File

The Virtual Machine will load the Sources file to get the "base" of the
language, and then it will load the Image file (and subsequently the Changes
file) to get any user-modifications.  Squeak.org, the maintainer of Squeak, will
updated the VM And the Sources/Changes/Image independently of each other, so I
propose two categories under dev-lang:

  (1) dev-lang/squeak-vm
  (2) dev-lang/squeak-img

You can run multiple image and virtual machine versions (such as VM 3.2-5 and
Image 3.2-xxxx, as well as VM 3.1-6 and Image 3.4-xxxx), so keeping these trees
separate will allow for the highest level of customization for the user.  All
image ebuilds should be dependent upon dev-lang/squeak-vm being installed
though.  :-)  (Not vice versa...)

All dependencies already exist inside the ebuild system.  The interdependency of
squeak-img with squeak-vm is handled by submitting both of these at the same time.

I tested the vm ebuild, and it installs its files in non-compliant places [excerpt]:
>>> /doc/squeak/
>>> /lib/squeak/
--- /usr/local/
>>> //bin/squeak -> ..//usr/local/lib/squeak/3.2-5/squeak

1) /doc/squeak should go into /usr/share/doc/${P}
2) /lib/squeak should go into /usr/lib/squeak
3) /usr/local/ <- this is COMPLETELY off limits to the distros packages, that
space is exclusively administered by the sysadm. Place stuff in /usr/ instead.
4) /bin/squeak should of course be in /usr/bin/squeak

Would you mind resubmitting an ebuild where these path problems have been fixed ?

Didn't hear any more on this; marking it as invalid.
