Bug 14304 – tora-cvs ebuild *ducks*

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Description Don Seiler (RETIRED) 2003-01-21 11:06:21 UTC]

I know you have a policy against cvs ebuilds, but tora's official releases are
pretty far between and some pretty useful features and bugfixes are in CVS.

And so I submit to your graces the ebuild for tora-cvs, along with the digest
file, which is just empty.  I'll be attaching these files shortly.

[Comment 1 Don Seiler (RETIRED) 2003-01-21 11:07:13 UTC]

Created attachment 7508 [details]
tora-cvs ebuild

Please don't hate me.

[Comment 2 Don Seiler (RETIRED) 2003-01-21 11:08:44 UTC]

OK bugzilla won't let me attach an empty file so just note that I have an empty
file named digest-tora-cvs-1.3.9 in my files/ directory.

[Comment 3 Don Seiler (RETIRED) 2003-01-21 11:09:49 UTC]

It seems the attachment system hasn't tracked the original file name.  It is
tora-cvs-1.3.9.ebuild.

I'd rather see snapshots of the cvs sources on ibiblio and the current tora
packages versioned accordingly

[Comment 5 Ryan Phillips (RETIRED) 2003-01-30 17:09:50 UTC]

will do.

[Comment 6 Don Seiler (RETIRED) 2003-02-04 13:23:40 UTC]

So ... how does one go about doing this?

[Comment 7 Ryan Phillips (RETIRED) 2003-02-04 16:24:14 UTC]

checkout a current CVS release and make sure it compiles and works correctly.  Create a regular ebuild for the release: ie. tora-gentoo-20030204.ebuild.  does that help?

[Comment 8 Don Seiler (RETIRED) 2003-02-04 16:57:11 UTC]

I actually meant how do I get the nightly onto ibiblio.

And I assume I'd want to test against one of the sourceforge nightly cvs tarballs instead of checking out cvs at a random time.

Would this still be part of a new tora-cvs or tora-nightly project or would you just add it to the existing tora?

[Comment 9 Don Seiler (RETIRED) 2003-06-17 09:55:12 UTC]

This is really a non-issue so feel free to close it out.

[Comment 10 Don Seiler (RETIRED) 2003-07-25 07:08:20 UTC]

tora just released 1.3.10.  I'll be putting that into portage shortly.  You can close this.  If there is another long break between releases I know to make pick a nightly and use that.

[Comment 11 Don Seiler (RETIRED) 2003-08-01 12:51:11 UTC]

I'm going to put a round in this one.

The TOra author has laid out a pretty agressive release schedule so I think the need for CVS/nightly ebuilds is lessened.  CVS is out anyway since sf.net put that cap on anonymous CVS and you're SOL if you want to checkout anonymously pretty much.
