Bug 6015 – [New Package]: msetimon-2.07.ebuild

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Dan Naumov 2002-08-04 15:57:41 UTC]

What follows is my ebuild of msetimon, a GUI utility for monitoring the
SETI@Home client. It's written in Perl, using Perl-TK. Please note, that the
program currently has problems with displaying it's "Properties" window when run
under fluxbox/blackbox, but other then that, it's fully functional.

[New Package]: msetimon-2.07.ebuild

I propose "x11-misc/msetimon" for this.

SLOT and KEYWORDS tags are missing.. please add them.. and for SRC_URI you should
use mirror://sourceforge/msetimon/${NAME}-perl-source-2-07.tar.gz instead of the
three addresses..

I stumbled across a very bizarre problem when fixing SRC_URL. When I am using the
"old version" of SRC_URL, which provides 3 URLs, everthing works fine. Yet, when
I change the SRC_URL to
SRC_URL="mirror://sourceforge/msetimon/${NAME}-perl-source-2-07.tar.gz", the
emerge fails with the following error:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Calculating dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge x11-misc/msetimon-2.07 to /
>>> Unpacking source...
>>> Source unpacked.

>>> Install msetimon-2.07 into /var/tmp/portage/msetimon-2.07/image/ category
x11-misc
mv: cannot stat
`/var/tmp/portage/msetimon-2.07/work/msetimon-perl-source-2-07/msetimon.pl': No
such file or directory
install: cannot stat `msetimon': No such file or directory

!!! ERROR: The ebuild did not complete successfully.
!!! Function src_install, Line -317, Exitcode 1
!!! install failed

!!! emerge aborting on  /usr/portage/x11-misc/msetimon/msetimon-2.07.ebuild .
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The most bizarre thing is, that when SRC_URL is set to
mirror://sourceforge/msetimon/${NAME}-perl-source-2-07.tar.gz, the ebuild fails
that way even though it never even TRIES to download the actual file. How it is
possible for emerge to attempt compiling/installing the program when the
distfile is not downloaded, is beyond me :o)

Updated working ebuild with OLD SRC_URL value.

Updated non-working ebuild with a new "proper" SRC_URL.

Anyone care to explain why this one behaves so weirdly ? :o)

Pardon me, I clearly need more sleep. Problem fixed. Dumb me. Completely working
and "correct" ebuild follows below.

fixed ebuild (finally)

This one obsoletes all previous attachments.

the final ebuild works fine, so i put it in the cvs-tree...
thanks for your contribution
