net-fs/coda is currently at 6.0.15. It compiles and runs on x86, but fails on amd64. Coda 6.9.2 from the upstream includes numerous patches to fix this. See http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/trac/milestone/Coda-6.9.1 and http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/trac/milestone/Coda-6.9.2 for details. To port coda-6.92 to portage, a number of changes must be made to the ebuild. The most obvious is the transition that coda has made to using autotools. In addition, there are some minor problems that cause auth2 to fail to build. These are fairly easily fixed with the appropriate patches.
Created attachment 131270 [details, diff] auth2 linking fix This fixes a problem in the coda makefiles that prevents auth2 from linking to libutil.
Created attachment 131272 [details, diff] auth2 netdb missing include fix A source file in auth2 uses functions provided by netdb.h but doesn't include netdb.h.
Created attachment 131273 [details, diff] gentoo style inits Provides init.d scripts that make use of runscript. Gentoo specific.
Created attachment 131274 [details, diff] directory layout changes Modifies some of the scripts and configs provided by coda to not directly use /coda and /usr/coda, but /mnt/coda and /var/lib/coda instead. Not strictly necessary, but nice as it conforms better to the layout provided by the existing coda ebuild. (plus cluttering / and /usr just feels a bit kludgy.).
Created attachment 131276 [details] sample ebuild Provides an ebuild that makes use of all the above patches. Compilies and runs fine on my amd64 and x86 boxes (2007.0 installed on both, with up to date dependancies). Unable to test on ppc as I don't have such a system.

*** Bug 163215 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
This patch works fine on amd64, thanx. By the way, why it is still not merged into the main portage tree?
I've just added new and cleaned up ebuilds for the full Coda stack (coda, lwp, rpc2, rvm) to my overlay. See http://overlays.gentoo.org/dev/chtekk/browser/coda. You can grab a SVN checkout with 'svn co "http://overlays.gentoo.org/svn/dev/chtekk/coda"'. The auth2 linking issue and the undefined netdb functions is fixed in 6.9.3, so those patches aren't needed anymore. The init-scripts I've split out into their own files in $FILESDIR, instead of them being a patch. And the Gentoo-Dirs patch I've completed a little bit more. Everything was updated and cleaned up as much as possible, trying to keep everything simple and straightforward. I agree with moving stuff to /var/lib/{coda,vice} and /mnt/{coda,vicepa} to keep the filesystem clean, those are also more logical places, still I've kept the compatibility symlinks, which should enable even older apps that search for stuff in /coda and so on to work flawlessy (so bug #144234 should be fixed now). I've removed the codaroot user/group creation, as I don't really see why this is needed for everyone in the ebuild as default. I've tested this on amd64 and using Heimdal Kerberos, it compiles, links and seems fine. Still, please everyone, test this on your setups! If I can get back a few "it works here!" from all of you, I'll move those ebuilds into the main Portage tree, so please test them as much as possible! Thanks a lot to Nathan Goldstick for the initial ebuild and work I've based this off! Best regards, chtekk.

In the end Coda didn't work out for my particular setup, so I'm reassigning this to maintainer-needed, as I won't be using it. I'll leave my overlay intact for a while, so that whoever's interested can grab the files, and I'll also attach them here for completeness. Best regards, chtekk.

Created attachment 160620 [details] Another tarball of a coda overlay This includes ebuilds for coda-2.9.2 and coda-2.9.3. I'm using the coda-2.9.3 one right now, and I think the coda-2.9.2 one should also work, though I havn't tested it all that much. The prerequisites such as rpc and the like are also included. I should note that the ebuilds here are quite a bit different in terms of where files are placed, when compared to the ebuilds I posted earlier.

I would like to remind the package maintainers that access to files in Coda via the paths beginning with /coda is an essential part of the functionality. It is as important as the "http:" string at the beginning of an URL. I can not stress this too much, this is not "compatibility with older application", this is an essential property, do not misunderstand this or the package eventually will be broken.
All the support libs were quite easy to bump. Trying to get 6.9.4 built with the ebuilds provided here fails. So if anyone can provide me with a working .4 ebuild I'll take care of it. Thanks!

So neither .3 or .4 want to build. Anyone in the mood to make me a patch for that? ;)
I got it to build, no patch necessary. The trick is to gcc-config x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.3.4, apparently latest coda still does not like gcc-4.4. At least I was able to build 6.9.4 on 2 systems, amd64. It also seems to run even after I gcc-config back to gcc-4.4 - I tried to run venus set for that test site in manual and it seem to mount fine..
Created attachment 209345 [details] coda-6.9.4.ebuild Just in case, here is the "updated" ebuild - only coda needed "changes". IIRC I only added pkg_setup checking that the right gcc is active. Although I played with different things before that, so it *might* have some DEPEND changes, but I doubt it (got it to compile last week, just got to "properly" testing it, still did not fully set up..)
Assigning to herd
forgot to add myself to CC (I am not on the herd).
Created attachment 209887 [details, diff] coda-6.9.4-gentoo-dirs.patch Apparently I was testing coda with coda-fs-layout set so far. Without it the patch provided for 6.9.3 fails with two rejects. One is as trivial as some whitespace (OTOH, why epatch even cares about it?), another one had to deal with some block of text added in new version. So, if anyone tries to use coda-6.9.4.ebuild, please use the attached patch (and change the corresponding epatch line inside). This patch, in fact, goes beyond what the original one did, trying to provide universal substitutions throughout the code. However it is not fully finished, - see below, I just wanted to attach something that would close an open issue. ATM I am working on streamlining and "automating" the patch - bunch of substitutions can be done with sed, which would also remove some of the problems of the patch failing on update, so, stay tuned.. But I have two issues with reshaffling paths, but first on phylosophical aspect: I recognize the position of Rune expressed in this and bug #144234, but also I see that coda uses "old times" layout which is totally incompatible with FHS. In view of this I think it is important to provide the choice. It is also wise to submit our changes upstream and I'll try to do this when I finish with this part. Just a short note on top, in case upstream ever glances at this bug :), - package uses "bad programming practices" - paths are spread throughout the code instead of being defined in one place. Although, as I understand, the issue is not severe, as most of definitions are "bracketed by CODACONF_STR which, I suspect, does the right thing and parses some config. Nonetheless it would simplify possible changes and in fact maintenance of code if common default values would have been defined in one place.. So, techninucal issues 1. After full substitution it should be possible to not create symlinks at all. The installed code should work fine, the issue could be with extra packages (which, ideally, should also be configurable, but well, that never happens). So, how many of those are there? Does it make sense to consider the coda-fs-symlinks use flag? 2. I see in present version /coda was put under /media. However, according to FHS "This directory contains subdirectories which are used as mount points for removeable media such as floppy disks, cdroms and zip disks." http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#MEDIAMOUNTPOINT Coda is more akin to nfs, which normally has mountpoints under /mnt. As such, /media is a wrong location and I am going to move it back under /mnt in 6.9.4.. George
Created attachment 210617 [details] updated coda dir Ok, here you go. Remove old coda dir in your overlay, replace with this and enjoy. This is significantly cleaned up and made "gentoo compliant", some of stale modifications removed, etc. Perhaps the most noticeable change is that patches were significantly cleaned up. Init scripts are now provided in a separate archive (what's the ppoint of introducing new files via a patch anyway?). Path substitutions are done via seds. What's left of gentoo-dirs.patch is very small and should be version independent. So, all the patches that are left (the whiole two) are nor versionless.. Few things on which I'd like some feedback 1. Init scripts: previous version installed 3: auth2, codasrv and updatecoda for the server. However, if there ever situation in which any of these is used separately from the others? As I could not think of any I collated all of them together. Now only codasrv is provided which starts (and stops in reverse order) all three. Plus I removed the need for startserver script. 2. USE flags: I shortened flag names and used "unofficial standard" ones for client and server. More importantly, I added coda_symlinks flag to request creating legacy symlinks. With new modifications coda seems to work fine even without those (-coda_layout). However, according to bug #144234 this might cause problems with client apps. I am considering symlinking /coda to /mnt/coda unconditionally and providing optionally the rest of the links. I'd like to hear some comments on this..
Initially I was going to stop at that, but looking at how this package is not getting attention while having a broken version in the tree, I think I'll take the bug and commit the changes myself, after some more testing. net-fs herd: please voice your disagreement now, before it is too late ;)
Ok, the 6.9.4 with all the updates and discussed changes is in, please test. Please note: it is masked in package.mask at the moment, since I did not want to shower a major update of filesystem component on unsuspecting users. Just add =net-fs/coda-6.9.4 to your /etc/portage/package.unmask to unmask it. I'll keep it in package.mask for 2 weeks and then remove the mask (at which time I'll close this bug).
6.9.5 is already in the tree
