Bug 54483 – updated ebuild for nbd-2.7.1

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Ryan Earl 2004-06-19 19:34:48 UTC]

nbd-2.7.1 contains some important bugfixes.  I have started with nbd-2.6.0.ebuild as a base to create a new nbd-2.7.1.ebuild file.  The primary changes are that the current kernel header nbd.h must be copied over--not current kernel header version--as discussed in an email with the author and maintainer for nbd; email to be attached with patch.  Additionally, a change was required to support transforming the new sgml documentation to man pages.

However, I'm having a small problem with permissions.  I'm not sure if it has something to do with the fact I just made a new file in my portage directory, I didn't use a CVS'd copy.  I'm looking into CVS, but any help would be appreciated.  I can do a manual "make install" after it dies and it completed the installation just fine.

Reproducible: Always

slightly updated working nbd-2.7.1.ebuild

I took the "-v" off of "docbook2man" that I was using for debugging.  I forgot
to remove that in the previous attachment, oops!

last .ebuild I hope, noticed a weird tab

[Comment 6 Ryan Earl 2004-06-19 20:31:24 UTC]

OK, the problem with the manpage installation was that both "make install" and "dobin" were trying to install the same manpages twice.  I worked around this by just using the dobin portage feature.

nbd-2.7.1 with two more minor corrections

[Comment 8 SpanKY 2004-06-19 22:15:31 UTC]

version bumped in cvs

you didnt say what kernel headers you're using so i didnt add that bit ... i'm using kernel headers from 2.6.6 and didnt get the error you did

[Comment 9 Ryan Earl 2004-06-19 22:41:52 UTC]

I'm using the latest stable linux-headers package:

*  sys-kernel/linux-headers
      Latest version available: 2.4.21-r1
      Latest version installed: 2.4.21-r1
      Size of downloaded files: 27,864 kB
      Homepage:    http://www.kernel.org/ http://www.gentoo.org/
      Description: Linux 2.4.21 headers from kernel.org
      License:     GPL-2

I tried to upgrade to a new version once, and it didn't work: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50036

At minimum, it should require a linux-kernel package below a certain level.  I assume the 2.6.5+ is sufficient, I'm not sure where in the 2.4.x line you need to be.

I just rsync'd and it guess it hasn't been mirror out yet for me to look at to comment further.  However, I see that linux-header-2.6.6 is now marked "stable" so perhaps that would be a good minimum level.
