Thanks for submitting this. It needs some work before it can be committed though.

Your IUSE line lists oggvorbis but doesn't change dependancies or the way the packages is built when USE=oggvorbis is set (or not). It also implies a flac USE flag in DEPEND but doesn't list flac in IUSE.

If you'd like to try and fix it, please do so. Otherwise I'll come back to this and fix it up in a few days.

Thanks again for submitting it :)

please ignore my comments, not sure how I managed it but it was meant for a different bug :)

No time for gentoo dev stuff right now :(

What version is this ebuild for?

[Comment 7 Nick Fish 2004-02-10 17:07:10 UTC]

mp3mover-2.1.1 .  Might not be pertinent to add to portage now since no one else has bumped this since I originally posted it.

I'm going to close this out as INVALID, but only because that's the closes I can get to the real situation. I worked with the ebuild this morning, massaging the authors default work into something more conducive to a distribution. My edits to the ebuild included:
src_compile() {
        sed -i -e "s|MP3 /usr/bin|MP3 ${D}/usr/local/lib/mp3mover|g" install.sh
        sed -i -e "s|/usr/bin|${D}/usr/local/bin|g" install.sh
        sed -i -e 's|push @INC,dirname($0);|use lib "/usr/local/lib/mp3mover";|'
 mp3mover.pl
}
src_install() {
        dodir "/usr/local/bin"
        dodir "/usr/local/lib/mp3mover"
        ./install.sh


This was to overcome having the author's custom modules placed in the heart of /usr/bin, an altogether unacceptable action. Even so, the tk module that he employs is error-prone (anchor on line 68 needs to be removed - invalid syntax), and even once launched - it doesn't work. I've tried the various options for getting it to read a directory, and ended up with nothing. If someone else later down the line wants to try and pick this up again, or if the author comes out with a more coherent version in the future, we can reopen this bug, but for now I'm going to have to close it out because the app really doesn't work. Sorry to close this out for you sound team, but since no one else has touched this bug in 7 months, I'm not thinking you will protest.
