Bug 125652 – PyCoCuMa (New package)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Description Frederik 'Freso' S. Olesen 2006-03-09 15:28:09 UTC]

"PyCoCuMa (Pythonic Contact and Customer Management) provides an personal information system for addresses, telephone numbers and other data associated with personal contacts.

PyCoCuMa is purely written in Python with a Tk graphical interface. PyCoCuMa is based on an XML-RPC client-server architecture. The server stores it's data in compatible vCard (ver. 3.0) files (*.vcf) which can be read by all modern address programs (Evolution, KAddressbook, Outlook, GnomeCard, etc)."

It is a simple distutils install, from what I can tell, although it requires that Python is built with tcltk USE flag[1]. I might try my hand at writing an ebuild meself one of these days, but I surely wouldn't mind if someone else beat me to it... ;)

[1] Why is that not simply a package of its own? It would be nicer if one didn't have to recompile all of Python simply to add the Tcl/Tkinter modules. But that's for another bug/suggestion, I suppose.

Non-working ebuild for PyCoCuMa 0.4.5-6

Where I've gotten so far tonight with this ebuild. Doesn't work yet though. I've copied stuff from dev-python/pmv and net-news/charm (both of which has some outdated stuff which I will probably poke at soonishly) as well as from the Gentoo Developer Handbook and http://dev.gentoo.org/~plasmaroo/devmanual/.

Ebuild for PyCoCuMa 0.4.5-6

This ebuild at least installs the application. It still needs a MY_P/MY_PV instead of the hardcoded version. I might also want to add Tkinter versions to DEPENDS. It also fails when trying to run it:

(this is an automated message based on filtering criteria that matched this bug)
'EBUILD' is in the KEYWORDS which should mean that there is a ebuild attached 
to this bug.
This bug is assigned to maintainer-wanted which means that it is not in the 
main tree.
Heuristics show that no Gentoo developer has commented on your ebuild.

Hello, The Gentoo Team would like to firstly thank you for your ebuild 
submission. We also apologize for not being able to accommodate you in a timely
manner. There are simply too many new packages.

Allow me to use this opportunity to introduce you to Gentoo Sunrise. The 
sunrise overlay[1] is a overlay for Gentoo which we allow trusted users to 
commit to and all users can have ebuilds reviewed by Gentoo devs for entry 
into the overlay. So, the sunrise team is suggesting that you look into this 
and submit your ebuild to the overlay where even *you* can commit to. =)

Because this is a mass message, we are also asking you to be patient with us. 
We anticipate a large number of requests in a short time. 

Thanks,
On behalf of the Gentoo Sunrise Team,
Jeremy.
