Bug 178886 – app-portage/cfg-update-1.8.2.ebuild (Update)

• Product: Portage Development
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description S. van Boven 2007-05-17 14:56:19 UTC]

Hi Harold,

Finally after lot's of testing I'm ready to roll out the new version. See changelog (in tarball) for details about bugfixes, changes and added functionality. I want it to go into the tree as version 1.8.2 because some users already have 1.8.1 versions on their system for testing purposes...

Note that the alias for emerge is now deprecated, cfg-update will prompt the user to remove the alias until it is actually removed/disabled.
The script automatically creates the new hook for Portage, and if Paludis is found it will create a hook for that too.

The ebuild now also disables the hook(s) upon uninstalling. When upgrading to a newer version, the hook(s) will be automatically re-enabled upon first use of the new version of cfg-update.

Besides that, cfg-update is now capable of updating multiple systems from a single location (see /etc/cfg-update.hosts for more info)

I have also included a test-set for functional testing which can be extracted to /etc/test like this:
# gzip -dc "/usr/lib/cfg-update/test.tgz" | tar -xpf - --directory /etc

Then inject the neccesary checksums into the index:
# cd /etc/test
# ./prepare_cfg-update_test

Then run cfg-update to test if it handles the updates properly:
# cfg-update -u

Regards,

Stephan

Reproducible: Always

During installation, I get a notice that cfg-update_phphelper is not present, and it indeed isn't. Is it supposed to be gone? If so, src_install probably shouldn't install it. :-)

It does not prevent a successfull installation though, and it's looking very good, so I'll try to make sure I can add it today, assuming that one file is intentionally gone. Thanks!

Ow... I forgot to put that file in the tarball.
It was not supposed to be missing, it should be installed to avoid errors with emerging until the user has manually disabled/removed the old alias!

Can I still change the tarball on my webserver, or do you prefer a new cfg-update-1.8.2-r1.tar.gz ?

There's no problem if you could upload a new cfg-update-1.8.2.tar.gz file.

Done... replaced the tarball.
Thanks!
