ogg2mp3-0.4.ebuild
I have contacted upstream a least a month ago and still haven't had a reply yet. An unversioned tarball means the package is very hard to maintain in the portage tree. It will break again on the next update. On the next portage tree sync, you will find this package masked. If you want it unmasked, please contact upstream and get versioned tarballs of this script online. I'm not going to bug the maintainer about changing his way of distributing his software. He has already been kind enough to write it. If our software management system really can't handle unversioned packages then that is our fault. Doesn't everyone keep saying that Gentoo is supposed to be about choices? Rather than spending time forcing people to change their system, we should think about ways we can improve portage to make it handle unversioned packages as well. Perhaps a bug should be opened about that... > I'm not going to bug the maintainer about changing his way of distributing his software. > He has already been kind enough to write it. If our software management system > really can't handle unversioned packages then that is our fault. unversioned distfiles really dont make sense, therefor there is no need to support them imho. > Doesn't everyone keep saying that Gentoo is supposed to be about choices? Rather > than spending time forcing people to change their system, we should think about ways > we can improve portage to make it handle unversioned packages as well. > Perhaps a bug should be opened about that... we dont force him to change his system, we just ask him to do so because if you look around, nearly all software projects have a version number in the distfile name to make it easy to say which version of a software it is. if you open a bug about it, it'll most proberbly also be marked as wontfix. gentoo is about choices, you can choose between different solutions for a problem if there are more than one. Mark <rickscafe.casablanca@gmx.net> (upstream) wrote: --- "yea, the gentoo folks asked for it, too" "I've wanted to move the script to sourceforge in a versioned tarball for quite some time now." "I'll check the two patches and release a new version in a tarball within this week" "In terms of licence I will change it if necessary." --- Alan Strohm, can you re-open the bug? Reopening bug by Octavio's request. Awaiting new releases by upstream. (In reply to comment #10) > Reopening bug by Octavio's request. > Awaiting new releases by upstream. v 0.5 is out: http://amor.cms.hu-berlin.de/~h0444y2j/linux.html From the site: "I can no longer maintain the script. I released a last version 0.5 in a versioned tarball as the Debian and Gentoo folks requested. Also, I applied a patch by Henry Gomersall who added bitrate and quality cli options. A problem with case sensitivity was fixed by me. The license I changed to GPL v2. If anyone wants to maintain the script, feel free to do so. I will not accept further patches. Thanks to all the people sending me bug reports and patches." Created attachment 60912 [details]
ogg2mp3-0.5.ebuild
Version bump with new src uri.
This is now in the portage tree. The 0.3 ebuild is removed, and the 0.5 one is added. The package will be unmasked shortly. |
