Bug 97375 – xsri ebuild

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Thomas Weidner 2005-06-29 03:53:14 UTC]

Hi,

this is a ebuild for the small xsri utility from redhat. xsri is a wallpaper setter. What it makes special, is that it sets the "right" wallpaper for transparency.

xsri-2.1.0.ebuild

GPL is not a valid licence

the use of the rpm eclass is discouraged since it is possible to obtain source
code for this product (it _is_ GPL-x)

have you actually tested on amd64, x86, and ppc?

do not set RDEPEND at all unless you are going to put something in it

differing DEPEND entries should be on different lines, indented with tabs

you can inherit multiple things on the same line (ex: "inherit eutils flag-o-matic")

i'm sorry, but desktop-misc has too many packages already... if someone else
wants to maintain it, then fine

reassigning

new ebuild slightly updated

sorry i'm new to writing ebuilds. i tried to fix the things you mentioned.
I think redhat only distributes the source as .src.rpm. gentoo could repackage
it, but why should this be neccessary? xsri does not have a project's page, nor
did i found the source in other formats. (perhaps i simply did not search hard
enough)
Second: this is xsri from fc4 released on the mentioned plattforms, so i think
it should work at least on them.
finally i agree that gentoo developers are too heavy loaded with work ATM, so
feel free to ignore this bug. ;-)

yes, i do believe gentoo developers should repackage the file. we have plenty of
space on the mirrors, and using rpms when we have portage is just stupid (imho)

then again, i'm not going to be maintaining it, so it doesn't matter what i
think :-)

I'll add xsri.
