Description Sam D. Chuparkoff 2005-11-08 03:54:54 UTC

The downloadable version of the pygtk reference lives at:

  http://www.pygtk.org/dist/pygtk2reference.tbz2

The ebuild knows this. The problem is, this url always points to the
newest version of the reference. As I'm writing this, that's
2.8.1. But even though I let portage install pygtk-2.8.2, I still have
the same old documentation on my system because pygtk2reference.tbz2
is still hanging around from a previous emerge and the md5 still
matches.

Seems to me the docs live here:

  http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/pygtk-docs/2.0/

I don't know portage well enough to suggest a way to handle this. I
have an overlay setup and pygtk in package.keywords, so I did:

  mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/dev-python/pygtk
  cd /usr/local/portage/dev-python/pygtk/
  echo 'RESTRICT="nomirror"' > pygtk-2.8.2-r1.ebuild
  cat /usr/portage/dev-python/pygtk/pygtk-2.8.2.ebuild >> pygtk-2.8.2-r1.ebuild

  rm -f /usr/portage/distfiles/pygtk2reference.tbz2
  ebuild pygtk-2.8.2-r1.ebuild digest fetch

  emerge -u pygtk

(Just in case anyone else wants the docs where they go and for portage
to know about them.)

Thanks for making this available.
