Bug 311145 – New ebuild for xfce4-hdaps-0.0.5

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Michael Orlitzky 2010-03-24 16:24:40 UTC]

Yeah, I'm the author. But Debian has it, and they can't have it if we don't. I'm attaching the ebuild I've been using in my overlay.

Hi, I would recommend adding a kernel check for 2.6.28 and warning if something older is being used.

[Comment 3 Michael Orlitzky 2010-03-24 16:46:26 UTC]

Is there a way to *require* (greater than or equal to) a specific kernel version? HDAPSD already spits out a warning in pkg_postinst(), but the user is free to ignore it and render the daemon (and plugin) useless.

linux-info.eclass

if kernel_is lt 2 6 28; then
echo "do something"
fi

hint,

emerge eclass-manpages
man 5 linux-info.eclass
less /usr/portage/eclass/linux-info.eclass

[Comment 6 Michael Orlitzky 2010-03-24 17:05:32 UTC]

Yep, that's what HDAPSD is doing. I suppose it's the correct approach, since a newer kernel is really a run-time dependency. I'll re-echo it in my pkg_postinst().

ebuild

how about this? added missing depends, linux-info usage, debug use flag, ...

[Comment 8 Michael Orlitzky 2010-03-24 18:03:08 UTC]

Looks good to me. A warning might be more appropriate than an error for the kernel version, but everything else is definitely an improvement.

[Comment 9 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) 2010-03-24 18:12:35 UTC]

Changed to warning, and committed.

Too bad the package is still using the obsolete libxfcegui4... should be using libxfce4ui, but that's another story.

thanks!

I'll email the author and see if I can get that fixed...
