Bug 77355 – Updated Ebuild nuvexport, with ?Correct Gentoo? Install Methods

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description donald webster 2005-01-10 02:05:14 UTC]

The original ebuilds for nuvexport simply do a "make install" setting some options.  I believe that I have converted the ebuild to a more gentoo-like system using dobin, doman, insinto, doins and dosym.

This is for version 2005 01 06, but should be much easier adapted to later versions.  It seems the maker's source URL has changed a little, as well as the dir it extracts to.

Reproducible: Always

Nuv Export 2005 01 06

This is the ebuild, found at the above URL... just in case I accidentally
delete it :)

Well, that may have been a bit pre-mature.  I started playing around with actually using nuvexport... and it is not working like I expected.  I don't think its an ebuild problem, but I intend to figure out what is going on :)

I make comments to fast, there is definatly nothing wrong with the ebuild.  Nuvexport simply does not want to export an mpeg2 -> dvd format.  Everything else works.  Maybe its a nuvexport issue, I'm still looking into it with the author.

nuvexport depends on transcode being compiled with a use flag of "mjpeg", but these sorts of dependencies are not supported.  I am going to add an einfo line about the possible required transcode use flags and re-submit.

Sorry for all the comments and changes.  Since portage doesn't currently provide a way for having USE dependancies, I have included an einfo warning about emerging transcode with varios codec support.  The new and improved ebuild is attached.

Updated with einfo output

Here is the updated ebuild with the einfo output about transcode's USE flags.

way way way too complicated. I've written a new ebuild. That doesn't need all that mess. I contacted kanaka about it.

taking care of this.

[Comment 9 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) 2005-01-12 22:50:06 UTC]

fixed in CVS

[Comment 10 donald webster 2005-01-12 23:41:47 UTC]

Does this mean the newer version of nuvexport should be available in portage at some point?  I would love to see how the ebuild was supposed to have been handled, so that if I work on any in the future I can do it the right way :)
