Bug 140925 – app-pda/gnome-pilot-2.0.14 (version bump)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Adam Wilson 2006-07-18 08:29:02 UTC]

I have created an ebuild for gnome-pilot-2.0.14, which allows wireless syncing with Palm devices, such as the Palm TX. Here is the ebuild (which is basically the 2.0.13 ebuild):

It uses the file from:
http://www.inference.phy.cam.ac.uk/mcdavey/downloads/

I downloaded the file, untarred it, renamed the output folder to gnome-pilot-2.0.14, and tar-bzipped it to gnome-pilot-2.0.14.tar.bz2, then put that file in the /usr/portage/distfiles/ folder.

gnome-pilot-2.0.14.ebuild

Get the other attached file as well to place in the distfiles folder!
Put this is the /usr/portage/app-pda/gnome-pilot/ folder, run:
ebuild /usr/portage/app-pda/gnome-pilot/gnome-pilot-2.0.14.ebuild digest

source (gnome-pilot-2.0.14.tar.bz2)

place this in the /usr/portage/distfiles folder

It is actually probably a good idea to put this in a portage overlay instead of the actual portage directory.Check this out if you are new to this (I was until I made this ebuild!)

rather than making your own tarball, can you use the 2.0.14_pre5 on their webpage? 

http://live.gnome.org/GnomePilot

your tarball is definitely not 2.0.14, at the very least it needs a _pre in the version.

[Comment 5 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) 2006-07-20 03:53:26 UTC]

It seem like you wanted this because of the netsync issue in a couple of the other bugs (#88511). However, gnome-pilot-2.0.14 is not going in portage until pilot-link-0.12 is released and the authors do not object that it be packaged, and that itself, gnome-pilot-2.0.14 is released. So I'm going to close this bug as a dupe of 88511

News from bug 88511: pilot-link-0.12 has been released as well as 0.12.1, but there is no ebuild in portage (or an overlay) yet.
