Attachments:	Botan 1.6.1 ebuild Patch for noexec stack

Description Jack Lloyd 2007-01-20 11:45:28 UTC

Attached is an ebuild for Botan 1.6.1. Based on the existing 1.5.11 ebuild, with the addition of an extra assembly module for x86-64 systems.

Also attached is a patch needed for noexec stack purposes.

Cleanout: 1.5.4 and 1.5.11 ebuilds probably should not be used by anyone at this point as there is now a stable/supported release based on the tree those releases originated from.


Reproducible: Always

1. Any reason why you modified the keywords?
2. Any reason why you did not merge the asm noexec stuff into your delivery?

Also it is very annoying that I cannot ebuild xxx install as regular user, your ebuild since it fails on install when trying to chown/chmod or something... Can you please have a look on this one for next release?

Comment 4 Jack Lloyd 2007-01-20 15:58:19 UTC

I modified the keywords as I have only tested that particular ebuild under amd64 and x86 - it was my understand that all keywording should be done by arch testers. It should work under all other architectures Gentoo runs on.

I haven't merged the noexec patches yet because I haven't had a chance to evaluate if it causes any portability problems (in particular, under ELF systems that do not use the GNU assembler).

As to the installing it as a user - how is that even done? Wouldn't the install step die pretty hard attempting to write to /usr/lib/blah?

BTW: Can you please next time submit only a patch for your ebuilds?

Just try in your regular (none root) user:
ebuild botan-1.6.1.ebuild install

It should install all files to temperary location...

It just like:
./configure
make install INSTALLROOT=/tmp/root1/usr

Most packages don't fail if none root account is specified...
