Description Joel Parker 2003-12-13 18:19:50 UTC
It would be nice to get a zero-install ebuild out so people can play with it. Zero-install is a new-generation software installation system that uses the internet directly to run executables and handle dependencies.

See the freshmeat article: http://themes.freshmeat.net/articles/view/1049/

My ebuild for zero-install

Here's my ebuild for zero-install-0.1.20.
There might be a lot that can be improved, but it works for me.
There are two extra attachments to be placed in the files directory:
 - the patch file zero-install-0.1.20-bv.diff
 - the init script 0install

Hi,

I'm using kernel 2.6.4-mm1. What kernel are you using?

Thanks

Comment 7 meyerm 2004-04-11 03:59:26 UTC
OK, the problem is the new kernel. You have to use the newer zeroinstall for kernels over 2.6.2... (or at least the filesystem of zeroinstall).
Comment 8 Pascall Grange 2004-08-05 15:16:31 UTC
Please, a little help for a dumb guy who is trying to install zeor-install (?!) with this ebuild :

I put the ebuild in my /usr/local/portage dir (with PORTAGE_OVERLAY defined accordingly) but I get a message like this friom emerge :

$> pwd
/usr/local/portage
$> emerge zero-install/zero-install-0.1.20.ebuild
!!! aux_get(): ebuild for 'portage/zero-install-0.1.20' does not exist at:
!!!            /usr/portage/portage/zero-install/zero-install-0.1.20.ebuild
Calculating dependencies   emerge: create(): aux_get() error on portage/zero-ins
tall-0.1.20; aborting...

Any help ?

Thanks !
Comment 9 meyerm 2004-08-05 15:44:59 UTC
Just call "emerge zero-install"
Comment 10 Brian Harring (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-11-10 14:47:34 UTC
Closing.  Sorry, but I'm not really much for having this in the tree- both from the standpoint of maintaining, *and* just it's existance in the tree.
Reopen if interest still exists.
Comment 11 Stefan Huszics 2004-12-28 22:45:41 UTC
"just it's existance in the tree."

Exactly what do you mean by that?

Also, isn't it a bit odd to leave out 0install when ROX DE already has 2 dirs of it's own in portage? The 0install system is one of the cornerstones/main selling points of ROX as a DE (something so simple that you could probably even let you mother manage it on her own once you set it up for her...).

Request for reopening or a better explanation of why it should be left out.
Comment 12 trejkaz 2004-12-29 06:03:25 UTC
The reasoning goes like this:

1. Portage is almighty.
2. Portage is god.
3. All other package managers shall fall because Portage rules them all.

Or something like that. ;-)
Comment 13 Daniel Holth 2004-12-29 09:22:10 UTC
Interest still exists. If there are packages in the tree that, when upgraded, cause most of your software to break, then surely an innocent little thing like zero-install can find its way into the tree.
Comment 14 Michael Davey 2005-01-02 16:28:35 UTC
Please, please, please include this.  There are a fair few Gentoo users using the ROX desktop and zero-install is a key part of the desktop functionality.  Please spend some time understanding what zero-install does: it doesn't replace or supercede ebuild, it just lets one load ROX applications remotely and on-demand.

Please see http://rox.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/ and http://rox.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/index.php/ZeroInstall for more information.

Please consider this as another vote from the interested.
Comment 15 Brian Harring (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-01-20 11:10:34 UTC
Rephrasing my earlier stance on this (since in hindsight, it was a bit vague/declarative, wasn't it :), I -personally- have no interest in maintaining this package, nor the issues that will arise from essentially integrating/thwacking it to make it work (to head off the "there won't be bugs", there -will- be bugs, especially considering that this is basically the equivalent of live fetching and usage of binpkgs within a built from src system- see racs essay on mixing src and bin pkgs- http://dev.gentoo.org/~rac/binaries for details ).

Either way, afaik this bug has been pawned around a bit, and no dev was willing to pick it up for maintenance- at this point, I'm still unwilling for reasons listed above.

Sufficient interest, reopen and it'll be thrown back to bugwranglers.  Or take it to gentoo-dev ml and let the community weigh in on it- my opinion on this package isn't the final say on it, although again, like I stated no dev has been willing to pick up this package thus far.
Meanwhile, pardon the delay in response- swamped the last few months, added haven't had much gentoo time the last month.
Comment 16 Jim Ramsay (lack) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-27 21:41:07 UTC
So it turns out that rox-2.6 has started requiring this for calling some other apps from its "Options" pane, so I believe I will be adding this to the tree... sometime.

I am working with upstream to add a way for a portage to supply a 'local feed', so zeroinstall will default to using a portage-installed package if one is available.

It is unlikely I will add this to the tree soon, as I need to resolve this local-feed issue first, but I will be willing to maintain this as part of the rox packages.
Comment 17 Jim Ramsay (lack) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-27 21:46:08 UTC
By the way, I am talking about adding the new 'injector version' not the old kernel module version.
Comment 18 Jim Ramsay (lack) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-06-12 21:34:57 UTC
Current status:

Upstream has implemented some of the support I need to provide local feeds.  When the next version is released, I will add it to portage.
Comment 19 Jim Ramsay (lack) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-12-04 17:04:31 UTC
Added package: rox-base/zeroinstall-0.31

I will be slowly updating the other rox software so they install their "native feeds" so that 0launch can find any application installed by portage.
Comment 20 Jim Ramsay (lack) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-12-04 17:05:25 UTC
Or, rather, it is called rox-base/zeroinstall-injector-0.31
