Bug 196757 – sys-block/partimage-0.6.7 ebuild request

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Billy DeVincentis 2007-10-22 23:13:07 UTC]

The  beta  0.6.7  that  compiles  perfectly  on  Gentoo  amd64  is  available  at
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/partimage/partimage-0.6.7_beta2.tar.bz2.  Although  I  can  use  it  by  using  the  compiled  version  I  downloaded,  it  really  should  be  done  by  ebuild.  Please  create  an  ebuild  for  this  and  put  it  into  portage.  Thank  You.

Reproducible: Always

Good you started to work on your own ebuild however:

1. if you submit an ebuild to the best way to do that is by adding an an attachment. That if anybody wants to test it the ebuild can just be saved instead of copying a whole page.

2. It is not appriciated if an ebuild only works with FEATURES="-sandbox".

Maybe you could try to modify the original ebuild?

I  would  like  to  but  in  all  honesty  I  really  dont  know  how,  I  was  really  surprised  that  it  emerged  at  all.  If  you  know  what  needs  to  be  added  in  order  for  it  to  compile  without  the  sandbox  violation,  please  modify  my  ebuild  and  post  it,  I  would  be  very  appreciative  as  partimage  is  something  Id  like  to  be  able  to  use  without  having  to  reboot  into  a  livecd.

amd64 will wait for the maintainer to act.  good job trying to bump the ebuild yourself.

partimage-0.6.7_beta2.ebuild

Heres a working ebuild for partimage-0.6.7_beta2

I didn't care about any patches or fixes cause it is beta and I didn't have the time to check which of the provided patches are obsolet so I removed them all.

I just versionbumped it quick and fixed some path

it compiles and runs on x86_64

Only  One  problem,  it  doesnt  compile  unless  you  use  FEATURES="-sandbox",  The  ebuild  I  created  did  the  same  thing,  is  there  anyway  to  fix  that?

Created attachment 137308 [details]
partimage-0.6.7_beta2.ebuild (no -sandbox)

Needed to patch the Makefile.in to use the proper installdirs.

Use this ebuild with the following patch.

There are other files from the filesdir that are required. Copy them to your overlay!

partimaged.conf
partimaged.pam
servercert.cnf
artimaged.init
partimagedusers.5

I  just  copied  all  the  files  to  a  files  folder  in  my  overlay,  did  an  ebuild  manifest  against  your  ebuild  and  then  emerged  and  it  emerged  fine.  Im  just  wondering  if  I  needed  to  apply  that  data dir patch  separately  before  I  emerged  it?
