Bug 5207 – xfractint-20.2.04 (New Package)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description jsm 2002-07-18 17:09:51 UTC]

Attached is my first attempt at an ebuild for Xfractint
(http://www.fractint.org).  It's a very cool fractal generator. I'm having only
one problem, the FRACTDIR variable needs to be exported and set to
/usr/local/xfractint for the program to run correctly (in /etc/exports or
exports.env?)  If someone could help with that part, I'd be ready to go.

I think it should go in apps-misc/xfractint

J.

File for /etc/env.d to update FRACTDIR environment variable

This file must be in the "files" directory and is then copied to
/etc/env.d/60xfractint in the ebuild script.

I do not like that /usr/local needs to be used.  If you can get it to use
/usr/share/fractdir or something, that would be better.

Seemant,

The new ebuild I uploaded
(http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=2391&action=edit ) does not use
/usr/local.  It installs to /usr/share/xfractint.

Commited, but masked for now. I'll unmask it when its been tested. 

[Comment 9 jsm 2002-07-23 09:31:51 UTC]

I noticed xfract20.2.04.zip was copied to
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo/distfiles/ .  At what
stage do you guys change the ebuild so it starts pulling from there?  Or is that
my responsibility?

[Comment 10 Daniel Ahlberg (RETIRED) 2002-07-23 11:11:57 UTC]

The files in SRC_URI are automatically mirrored, it happens automatically. When
emerge:ing a packet it first checks the mirrors in your make.conf and if it
can't pull the source from the mirrors it will download it from SRC_URI.
