Bug 27161 – mantis-0.18.0a4: new package

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Tiemo Kieft (RETIRED) 2003-08-22 23:38:51 UTC]

Attached is the tar/bz2'ed mantis directory. It contains a ebuild for
mantis-0.18.0a4, a PHP bugtracking system. 
I suggest dev-php as category for this package.
This package uses very strange version numbers, which portage didn't like. I
named the ebuild mantis-0.18.0a and in the script itself had to append the 'a'
to the version.

Reassign to web-apps.

Hi,

Sorry for the delay in replying.  We've been very busy putting a new
framework in place for ebuilds for web-based applications.  This has
now been added to Portage.

We need you to update your ebuild to use the new framework before we
can accept your ebuild.

Please emerge net-www/webapp-config (make sure you get version 1.2 or
later), and update your ebuild to work with this new tool.  You can
use 'man 5 webapp.eclass', 'man 5 webapp-config' and 'man 8 webapp-config'
to learn more about how your ebuild needs to work.

You can find an example ebuild, for phpmyadmin, in

	/usr/share/doc/webapp-config-1.2/
	
If you encounter any difficulties with the new framework (and we
apologise, but there are sure to be a few at first), please let us know
and we'll do our best to help you.

Best regards,
Stu

a webapp-ish ebuild, and a more up-to-date version

Because the doc directory is actually linked from the application, I'm *not*
deleting it from htdocs.

Made it webapp.eclass compatible. Little bit tricky, because webapp-config
symlinks the files and mantis includes files with absolute paths via:

require_once( dirname( __FILE__ ).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'config_inc.php' );

__FILE__ will expand to the path /usr/share/webapps/... and not to /var/www/...
and this will result in including the wrong files.

[Comment 6 Gentoo Web-apps project 2004-06-13 02:21:32 UTC]

Hi Sven,

webapp-config v1.10 now uses hard links instead of symlinks, which should address this problem.

Best regards,
Stu

[Comment 7 Sven Wegener 2004-06-13 05:18:11 UTC]

Hm, hard links, I suppose that a lot of people have /usr mounted on a seperate
partition, and then hard links won't work. In my oppinion this will create more
trouble.

I'll check out webapp-config 1.10 and report back.

[Comment 8 Sven Wegener 2004-06-13 06:12:20 UTC]

ok, checked it, great work stu. with copying the files we get around this limitation.

currently i'm having one problem. i have /usr and /var on the filesystem, but the
files are copied into /var/www and are not hard linked. the files in /var/www have
a link count of 1. i'll try to find the reason why this happens.

In CVS. Excellent work everyone.

[Comment 10 Steven Green 2004-11-20 00:12:18 UTC]

I have made an ebuild for 0.19.1.
