Description RAPHEAD 2007-05-25 20:23:47 UTC

There is a very nice apache module named mod_xsendfile. Can this
be added to portage?

Reproducible: Always

Here's an ebuild for the module.....

WOW that was fast. I'm a complete newby to creating ebuilds so I'd like to understand what you did...
Serveral questions:
- Is this ebuild in portage?
- If not, how can I use it with my current installation?
- Is that really everything? Where are all the hints in this ebuild where to put the source and the binaries to, I thought that there are a lot more options to configure for an ebuild?

thanks, T

Well, the nice thing about Apache modules is that there is an eclass that does everything: /usr/portage/eclass/apache-mod.eclass

That decides everything about where to put the stuff. No, it isn't it portage because:
a) I am not a dev, just a volunteer bugfixer
b) I have to wait for some dev to decide to put it in(if they think it is worth it)

If you think it is necessary I can write up a config file.

Cheers.

Oh, in order to use the ebuild, you must make your own overlay and put the ebuild in it.

Comment 9 RAPHEAD 2007-05-27 12:36:48 UTC

Ok, I created a local overlay, and the moule works like a charm!
Great work and I'm still stunned by the ease of installing it with
a custom ebuild.

I will keep you informed here, whether the module runs fine.
In my opinion this should be added to portage...
