Description Neko-san 2023-12-19 05:07:02 UTC

I would like to request ollama as a package.
https://github.com/jmorganca/ollama

Upstream's method of installation currently only includes systemd services in addition to installing the program into `/usr/bin` and I'm not exactly a fan of scripts side-stepping package managers by throwing files in system directories.

Additionally, though not technically relevant, Arch has ollama in their repo (https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/ollama) and it would be neat if we could have it over here in OpenRC Gentoo-land

> Upstream's method of installation currently only includes systemd services

This appears to be wrong, upstream only has a Dockerfile which they expect you to use, arch made their own systemd service for it which can be used on Gentoo (in addition to the service script that has to be made).

It's in the install script in the URL above

There is a manual installation instruction for precompiled one-file binary
