Bug 424457 – ebuild for eclipse-sdk-bin 4.2

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Carlos Silva 2012-07-02 01:17:22 UTC]

Since eclipse-sdk build system doesn't really get along with gentoo ideology i decided that it was good to at least have a -bin version of the package in the tree until someone makes a proper ebuild for it. So here it is.

Reproducible: Always

Where can I find "dev-java/swt:4.2[cairo]"?

@cruzi
It's on the bug dependency (bug #424455)

@Carlos Silva

Thanks you. I will test right now :)

[Comment 7 Marcus Klein 2012-07-03 11:51:20 UTC]

Why does the ebuild contain a conflict on every slot of dev-util/eclipse-sdk? Is it possible to define a conflict with dev-util/eclipse-sdk of the same slot?

I don't want to uninstall my eclipse-sdk:3.7 and installation of eclipse-sdk-bin:4.2 should not interfere with eclipse-sdk:3.7 or does it?

[Comment 8 Marcus Klein 2012-07-03 12:00:15 UTC]

I removed the conflict and the installation works fine! Even with an eclipse-sdk:3.7 already installed :-) Many thanks!

[Comment 9 Carlos Silva 2012-07-03 12:37:41 UTC]

@Marcus
Yes, the conflit should be only with eclipse-sdk on the same slot, not on every slot. I'll update it as soon as I can.

Update ebuild so that it only blocks eclipse-sdk on the same slot

I think we should even go as far as to not block a possible source build in an other overlay. Ie. use eclipse-bin for wrapper and .desktop.

Then eutils and USE=doc aren't used. You depend on swt but it looks like you are using the bundled copy. And finally what about using a more conventional install location, ie. /opt/${P}?

There is this long standing policy of no -bin packages in main tree. I've had a short talk with Caster and we both agreed that it would be acceptable to have a -bin in java-overlay.

@java: if there are no objections to this I would add eclipse-sdk-bin to java-overlay and finally mask 3.5 in tree. Time to speak up.

Added to java-overlay

*eclipse-sdk-bin-4.2.0 (18 Jul 2012)

  18 Jul 2012; Ralph Sennhauser <[e-mail]> +files/eclipserc-bin-4.2,
  +files/eclipse-bin-4.2, +eclipse-sdk-bin-4.2.0.ebuild, +metadata.xml:
  Binary package of eclipse-sdk as alternative till the source build can be
  maintained again.
  Thanks to Carlos Silva <[e-mail]> for the ebuild, added with some
  modifications. #424457


In hope this wont hinder anyone to step up maintaining a source based ebuild in the future.
