upstart-0.2.7.ebuild
Initial ebuild.
Created attachment 98870 [details]
upstart-0.2.7.ebuild (License fix, added nls useflag)
License fix.
Added nls useflag.
The ebuild will overwrite those files in sysvinit:
/usr/share/man/man8/halt.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/init.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/poweroff.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/reboot.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/runlevel.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/shutdown.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/telinit.8.gz
The ebuild will install some aclocal files that will break your automake. The problem is in the upstream source package. I believe the ebuild needs to remove m4 from subdirs (see patch below) and run eautoreconf. I'll test and submit a new ebuild.

files/upstart-0.2.7-no-m4.patch
Don't install the shipped aclocal m4 files. (It breaks your gentoo automake)
Created attachment 99293 [details] upstart-0.2.7.ebuild (aclocal fix) The previously included aclocal files should not be inclueded in the install. Instead of starting patching and running eautoreconf I just overide the SUBDIRS variable during make install. This is already fixed upstream so it can be removed in next version. http://lists.netsplit.com/pipermail/upstart-devel/2006-October/000585.html Created attachment 100097 [details]
ebuild for upstart-0.3.0
I have made an ebuild for upstart-0.3.0. Also included is a patch from SER to fix a compile problem on some systems.
Created attachment 100098 [details]
patch for upstart 0.3.0
patch for upstart 0.3.0. Some systems do not compile without this patch. You need to put this in the files directory where you put the 0.3.0 ebuild posted above.

If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant. I just tried the ebuild and created a binary package (emerge -B upstart) - simply because I don't trust upstart yet ;) And I saw the ebuild installs the executables (most importantly 'init') into /usr/sbin, but my /usr is on a separate partition so I'm sure my system would fail to start. (In reply to comment #9) > And I saw the ebuild installs the executables (most importantly 'init') into > /usr/sbin, but my /usr is on a separate partition so I'm sure my system would > fail to start. The reason is that if you would write it in /sbin/init, you will overwrite the sysv init. Which might make your system unable to boot into the standard gentoo sysv mode.

ebuild for upstart-0.3.5
Ebuild for version 0.3.5. Also fixes configure error if USE="-sysv"

Thanks Version 0.3.7 of upstart is now available. Renaming the 0.3.5 ebuild to upstart-0.3.7.ebuild is enough to get it compiling. PS: I am not allowed to change the summary:"You tried to change the Summary field from New ebuild: upstart-0.3.5 to New ebuild: upstart-0.3.7 , but only the assignee or reporter of the bug, or a sufficiently empowered user may change that field" Please see http://upstart.ubuntu.com/wiki/UpstartOnGentoo I added ebuilds for upstart-0.3.8, upstart-jobs-0.1 (basically a sysv compat wrapper) and a modified sysvinit-2.86-r9 (which adds a use flag "compat-only"). (In reply to comment #10) > The reason is that if you would write it in /sbin/init, you will overwrite the > sysv init. Which might make your system unable to boot into the standard gentoo > sysv mode. Is this going to keep being the case or is it being consider to allow upstart as an alternative to sysvinit? what about installing it to /sbin/upstart and add init=/sbin/upstart to the boot params. that would allow you to keep /usr on a seperate partition and switching between these two init-systems every boot. Hallo, there is new upstart 0.3.9 available. But what I mainly want to ask is if upstart will be supported as init alternative (to default gentoo's init, initng, ...), and if current ebuild just "wraps" default gentoo's init scripts or if the ebuild employs the advantages of upstart by handling the init configuration (or at lest its part) in upstart-native way. I know that it is large amount of work to maintain the whole init-related ebuild (for all services and their relations), and so the second question is if (and where) I can submit a native upstart configuration file in the case I create or adjust one. And is there a mailing list about upstart on gentoo? Currently, I don't use upstart on my gentoo as I am not sure if the ebuild is stable (the computer will boot after emerge), but once it is, I definitely will switch on it. Thanks, Dan 1. upstart 0.5.0 has been released
2. Suggestion: install to /opt/upstart. This has worked successfully so far with my group at Cisco, so long as PATH="/opt/upstart/sbin:${PATH}".
Cheers,

(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. [1]: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/sunrise/ [2]: http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/sunrise/wiki/SunriseFaq Any news on upstart in Gentoo? I ask, because Ubuntu is now adapting its initscripts to upstart, and Gentoo users might want to do the same. (In reply to comment #20) > Any news on upstart in Gentoo? > > I ask, because Ubuntu is now adapting its initscripts to upstart, and Gentoo > users might want to do the same. Gentoo has OpenRC. I have no clue, how OpenRC compares to upstart. Does anyone know? (In reply to comment #14) > Please see http://upstart.ubuntu.com/wiki/UpstartOnGentoo ??? "This page does not exist yet." openrc works and i dont use gentoo anymore. (In reply to comment #23) > openrc works and i dont use gentoo anymore. > Let's keep this still open as there's a bunch of folks in CC. any one want to do it ? I suppose no one is interested in this, as there is openrc, and systemd. i prefer upstart more than systemd but i am happy with openrc I really think that there is no need for upstart The new "standard" is systemd which is already used by Fedora, openSUSE, Archlinux and so on. The only Distribution using upstart is Ubuntu (and Debian in case of that) and as no other distribution wants this, its likely to not change in the future. Gentoo should focus on a full systemd support rather than wasting resources on this package. Should be a "wontfix" in my personal opinion i dont want get emails about this anymore. please create new bug if this is still an issue. (In reply to Natanael Copa from comment #29) > i dont want get emails about this anymore. please create new bug if this is > still an issue. Alright, excuse me for this reply, consider this the very last e-mail; as people (in CC, forums, ...) still might want to see Upstart, I have cloned this bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=498376 People that are interested can continue in above bug. To future visitors of this bug: - Please do not mark this bug as a duplicate of that one to avoid unwanted mails. - Please reply to bug #498376 instead of bug #150190. Thank you for your understanding, have a nice day. |
