Bug 131901 – [EBUILD] gshare-0.90

• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Nuno Araujo 2006-05-01 06:27:43 UTC]

Attached you will find an ebuild for gshare, a file sharing utility for gnome that creates an "local" ftp server for sharing files and advertises it's presence using avahi.

I would suggest gnome-extra for the category.

The dependencies and arch are based on what I have installed in my machine.
Free to you to update them if you test them on other arches and with "lower" dependencies

Sigh... this bugzilla freezing really needs to be solved... argh.

Sorry about that...

[Comment 6 Max Powers 2006-05-03 11:43:10 UTC]

Configure halts on:

checking for GTKSHARP... configure: error: Package requirements (gtk-sharp >= 1.0) were not met:

No package 'gtk-sharp' found


but I have:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ] dev-dotnet/gtk-sharp-2.8.2  USE="-doc" 2,118 kB


Maybe Gentoo installs these in a non-standard place?

[Comment 7 Max Powers 2006-05-03 23:46:00 UTC]

The above configure problem has been fixed upstream

Could you please try the last version of the ebuild.
It should solve your problem

[Comment 11 Max Powers 2006-05-04 13:07:46 UTC]

Thanks Nuno, but the configure script has been cleaned up and fixed upstream. You should pull from the CVS repository of gshare and backport the patch here as it cleans things up rather nicely.

This ebuild should also checks to see if gnome-vfs was compiled with the avahi useflag; gshare does not work without it:

	if built_with_use gnome-base/gnome-vfs avahi
	then
		einfo "Avahi support enabled in gnome-base/gnome-vfs, I will continue..."
	else
		eerror "Please rebuild gnome-base/gnome-vfs, with avahi support enabled!"
		eerror "Try USE=\"avahi\" emerge gnome-base/gnome-vfs,"
		eerror "or add \"avahi\" to your USE string in /etc/make.conf and"
		eerror "emerge gnome-base/gnome-vfs."
		die "Avahi USE flag must be enabled in gnome-base/gnome-vfs"
	fi

Adds a check for the avahi USE flag for gnome-vfs

[Comment 13 Mario Witte 2007-01-15 14:38:52 UTC]

Meanwhile gshare 0.93 is out. I have just tried to bump the ebuild to that version but failed due to dependencies. It seems as if the newest dbus-build 1.0.2 does not contain mono bindings. Did anyone have luck on this?

URL looks dead. FTR, I'd rather choose gnome-user-share to enter the tree because it uses a well known/tested daemon as a dep.

[Comment 16 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) 2008-04-19 22:24:33 UTC]

erm unclosing. :)

[Comment 17 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) 2008-10-12 20:22:27 UTC]

I've just commited gnome-user-share to the tree so I'm removing gnome from CC.
Maybe you'd like dotnet to have a look.

[Comment 18 Matthew Marchese 2023-07-25 01:58:12 UTC]

Upstream domain is dead. I could not find any maintained software by the name of "gshare" easily accessible anywhere on the web.

As mentioned in #c15, gnome-user-share is presently available in ::gentoo (gnome-extra/gnome-user-share) and still maintained by the upstream GNOME Project: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-user-share

We'll close this bug as OBSOLETE since the software is no longer maintained or even available.
